As children, we were taught that it is not wise to play with fire. Well, Steven Spazuk has obviously been sitting on his ears, as he has learned how to draw smudges, that is drawing with the help of smoke and soot left behind by a candle flame. In the last 15 years, he has perfected the so-called fumage painting technique, with which he uses flame instead of brushes and drawings for painting. Each of his works of art is unique due to the unpredictability of the flame.
