Limited Edition Woodblock Print Modern art prints for sale

About:

This artwork originates from a blend of my surroundings and personal interpretation. I often merge and stylize photographs taken from my environment in my creative process. For this piece, the focus is on light.

The initial idea came to me after returning from overseas, staying at a friend’s place. Jet-lagged and awake in the early morning, I was struck by the serene morning light over a small man-made lake nearby. Being away from familiar surroundings heightened my appreciation for the concept of home, making me reflect on its significance. The work is titled “Castles” – why? A rock, a cornerstone worth defending, simply, my Kiwilandia.

The Process:

I made the Limited edition woodblock print image and transferred it onto wooden blocks. The blocks were carved according to the color. With a Barron, I pressed the inked blocks onto the paper to make the final print. Archival Japanese paper was used, which enhances the image and the process. Each limited edition woodblock print has its own unique characteristic. These prints are custom-made. Each print is discreetly signed, named, and numbered at the bottom of each piece. The artwork is not framed, but I can offer recommendations for framing if necessary. Alternatively, you can refer to the images below. All modern art prints for sale.
