Printmaking

As an artist, my heart is drawn to the delicate dance between the permanence of the past and the impermanence of the present. This fascination often finds its voice in lithography and old-world architecture—two timeless muses that embody craft, history, and the human spirit.

Lithography, with its intricate process and tactile precision, feels like a conversation with history. The act of drawing on stone or metal, knowing that every line and texture will be meticulously preserved, resonates deeply with my desire to honor the old while creating something new. There is a ritualistic quality to the process—the creation of the image, the etching process, the careful application of ink and the transfer of the image to paper—that mirrors the way ancient artisans laid each stone of a cathedral or carved each column of a temple. The physicality and patience required in lithography connect me to a lineage of makers who valued craft as much as vision.

Old-world architecture, in turn, provides me with endless inspiration. I am captivated by the way these structures tell stories through their weathered facades, ornate details, and enduring forms. Gothic arches, Baroque flourishes, and Romanesque solidity speak of cultures that celebrated both functionality and beauty. They remind me that art is not just about aesthetics but about creating spaces—both literal and metaphorical—that people can inhabit and find meaning within.

In my work, I seek to merge these passions, translating the spirit of ancient architecture into the medium of lithography. Through careful line work, tonal layering, and texture, I strive to evoke the grandeur and intimacy of a centuries-old building. My prints are not just representations but interpretations—an attempt to distill the essence of these architectural marvels into a format that can be held, examined, and cherished.

Ultimately, my art is a love letter to time—to the ways it erodes and enriches, preserves and transforms. Through lithography and my reverence for old-world architecture, I hope to invite viewers into this dialogue, encouraging them to see the beauty in both what was and what can be.
