As reported by Brightside.me, the colours that Cristoforo uses react and change their brightness according to the level of light they receive. The colours become more intense when there is little to no light at all. Reportedly, it could be due to their fluorophosphorescent properties. Moreover, the paint will react to UV light and they become much brighter, changing the painting.

Reportedly, according to the artist, the colours when kept in good conditions can maintain their fluorescent traits over 80 years. Reportedly, Cristoforo changes the intensity of the light by diluting the colours with other acrylic paints and adding water to it. Once the painting is dry, Cristoforo keeps the painting in room temperature. This helps to preserve the paints in the painting for as long as possible.

According to Brightside.me, the glow in the dark acrylic paints are considered to be a great source of renewable light energy. Due to its photoluminescent properties, the paints are able to absorb the light from its surrounding, which reflects when there is no light. Cristoforo’s style of painting challenges the idea that paintings should only be appreciated in full light.
