Flight - Handmade Linocut, Monotype, Limited Edition Print Unique 1/7

2022

A few years ago, at the age of 33, she turned her whole life upside down - she had quit her job and began full-time studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts. Her beloved family - her husband and 9-year-old daughter encouraged her a lot and with their help she managed to pursue her dream of creating. She founded her own atelier and started to create graphics in the linocut and monotype technique. All graphics are hand-made from start to finish, only in a few copies. She looks for an inspiration primarily in the beauty of the surrounding nature. She works intuitively and spontaneously, often skipping the sketch and design phase. Most of her art prints are landscapes, from more realistic linocuts to abstract monotypes. The colors of her graphics reflect the current state of her mind and melancholic character.
