The video above is my attempt to capture the process of creating a linocut as I personally experience it.

This project was inspired by Tammy's song, "Rain and Tears" (the Greek version of the original by Aphrodite’s Child).

Both the linocut and this video are dedicated to the cherished memory of my lovely grandmother, Antigoni Hatzopoulou.

“ Some details of on of my latest linocuts. I have been experimenting with textures to achieve greater contrast between different elements. “

First time trying wood engraving and it feels great!

This has been a goal of mine since my university years, and now, with an Ex Libris Competition as the occasion, I finally decided to try it.
As a relief printmaking technique, wood engraving works similarly to other relief methods, but I've found it more challenging. However, it allows for finer lines and incredible detail.

Loving the process and the results so far!

It has been a month since I returned from Dresden.
During my four-week artist residency at Grafikwerkstatt, I had the privilege of connecting with kind and exceptionally talented individuals, while also expanding my artistic horizons through the exploration of new techniques, new to me, such as algraphy.
Heartfelt thanks to the workshop's skilled masters—Peter, Udo and Torsten—for their invaluable assistance and attention. Gratitude also extends to the co-resident artists @astaleksandranorkute @cecile.petry and @ioannis_anasta whose company made the stay truly enjoyable.
Fortunately, having Ioannis as a good friend spared me the need for photographer.
I hope to have the chance to return to this enchanting place soon.

" Silkscreen on handmade paper "

During my time in Wroclaw, my talented friend Majka introduced me to her handmade papers made of plants, which are perfect for any kind of print. Inspired by their quality, I decided to print my own business cards for the very first time.
Majka's work is truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly support her craftsmanship.

" Linocut, 9x9cm "

As much as I've enjoyed creating small format linocuts this year, I'm excited to challenge myself with larger projects. This may be the last of my small format works for the foreseeable future.

Some months ago, I found a nipping press at an antiques shop and purchased it impulsively. Although the name Quality D is embossed on the bottom, it's possible that the press could be a replica. What matters most to me is that I enjoyed restoring it and that it's in proper working order.

A close-up photo of the previous work I uploaded would be helpful. Including a ruler in the photo would make it easier to understand the scale of the details.

" Linocut, 10x10cm "

This linocut is based on a neglected corner of our kitchen garden. It is a quite big place full of farming implements, agricultural equipment, domestic animals, and a lot of other stuff. Some of these items include a custom tractor cab, suction hoses, chicken wire, and an almost abandoned plough. This is my attempt to combine all of them into a small-sized artwork.

These prints will be the first ones to be combined with serigraphy. I usually work with different matrices but I think it is time for me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
