Printmaking is my big passion, especially drypoint.

 

I love the idea of reproducing the same image by hand so the autenticity is kept too. And I love the surprise component of the process.

I normally use plates of different materials: alluminium, wood, rubber to etch my drawing, then I colour it with organic printing inks.

One I have my picture I add bits of collage or gold leaf.

Other times I just love the purity of the line and leave the picture as it comes out of the press.

Also, I find interesting experimenting different kinds of paper: handmade, high quality italian Fabriano, rice paper.

 

Every changed ingredient, gives a different, surprising result.
