Artist’s Statement
My graphic art moves along the edges, being a small-scale, halting, silent speech in the margin, where composition, colors and reflections on the creation of space are the core.
My work rhythm is a slow process, where the prints take shape from experiences in the world, dealing with being human.
Art history, architecture and nature are present in a reduced way, as references. The past and the present become parallel.
Cardboard graphics is my method.
The collage-like embossing process is by rolling translucent layers, with the addition of drypoint, sometimes carborundum, pvc relief printing. During the Corona period, I also started using gouache painting on top of what was already printed.
My way of working, serial work, variation mostly produces unique prints.
