Artist Statement:
WOODBLOCK PRINTS
Very often I use separate
woodblocks and print them
together with different
colors. The colors are
selected individually,
depending on my state of mind
at the moment. This process is
also influenced by the season
of the year, the quality of
daylight, sounds, and music.
Prints made by this method
have a very delicate and
graceful structure. Beautiful
colors give any space relaxing
and leisurely feeling,
basically because of a return
to natural lines, colors and
shapes. Prints are made on
japanese high quality paper.
The style and color gives the
imression of action painting,
rather than traditional
graphics. Each print is
slightly different, and though
they resemble monotypes, they
are not traditional graphic
editions. The first woodblock
prints were made around
1989-1990 (i.e. WINGS) as a
special edition for my
personal exhibition at the
Museo de la Estampa. Woodblock
printing has been my favorite
technique for the last few
years. The Artist woodblock
ArtPrint are present at the
National Gallery of Art in
Washington
