Values related to sustainability and the environment underpin his practice. In Untitled (2024), Tostes combines variously colored wood dust – a byproduct of sanding his sculptures – with acrylic paint to create chromatic nuances. The idea of stacking the canvases arises from the artist’s recent investigations into balance, in which a small wooden branch provides a delicate adjustment of weight.
