"Solombre uses a mixed technique of etching and aquatint, an exacting labour cultivating the nuance, which leads to a simplification inscription, in filigree. Solombre's visual images invite poetic interpretation. The images, represent introspective reflections through which Solombre intends to evoke "dream states", the heart of works by classical surrealist style artists. However, Solombre's art, differs from traditional surrealist.
