Listening Artwork

Inspired by an activity often forgotten today: listening. The foreheads of two lovers gently touch as they feel each other's breath, attuned to the sound of life itself. Listening transcends mere auditory perception; it involves one's skin, soul, and entire being, calling for a deeper connection. --- I am currently exploring the Chinese woodblock printing technique and its potential for integrating various printing methods with drawing. Chinese woodcuts are traditionally printed on delicate handmade rice or mulberry paper using specific tools, rice glue, and water. Managing larger formats poses a challenge due to the use of water and the paper's delicacy. My aim is to merge the subtlety of this technique with the intensity of expression through drawing, initially in ink, and then painting while the mounted paper is still wet – a process I refer to as 'woodcut fresco'. Once the paper is dry, I use coloured pencils for finer details or even more intense finish of the artwork, depending on the requirements. The result is a nuanced fusion of Eastern and Western artistic approaches, encompassing both technique and craftsmanship. The custom stamp was crafted during my studies in China in 2009 and is used on each artwork as a sign of authenticity.
