In my art I use different techniques, mainly engraving, dry point, etching and painting.
Resistance of material has an influence on our attitude and image perception. Metal got scratched and torn, lines became cuts. When you make it you had to lay yourself out, to get angry, to resist, to sweat, while still enjoying the process. Perception of reality mute out and we came into a trance.
Print is a result of this process. And this technique states importance of the process above the result.
