Life and Art Questions

Life and Art questions. "Questions" A grid of nine pictures of a woman in motion, silhouetted against a doorway. Original print mezzotint Chine collé by painter-printmaker Marina Kim

Life and Art questions are the drives behind creative processes. Sometimes it feels that there are only questions, but where are the answers?

“All Weathers” Etching

No Comments

This small etching is based on one of the street sketches I used to do, sitting in the window of my shop. Lots of people pass by our window all day long, with their dogs, kids, bags, zimmer-frames… One must be really focused to be able to catch the essence of the image – a […]

Video Introduction to Intaglio Printmaking

No Comments

I found this brilliant video introduction to Intaglio printmaking on Youtube: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNKn4PORGBI&w=640&h=510%5D Very well-edited and informative video clip. Mezzotint is one of Intaglio printmaking techniques. Strictly speaking, it is a drypoint, as the image on the plate is formed by roughening the surface of the plate and then smoothing some areas, as opposed to […]

Mezzotint. How Many Proofs?

No Comments

Especially the larger portrait mezzotints, like “Girl by the Window”, “Mother and Child” and “Alina’s Faces”. The smaller and less detailed mezzotints were finished with 4-7 proofs. I put together […]

Mezzotint print “Alina’s Rose”.

Mezzotint meditation

No Comments

If someone told me even couple of years ago, that art for them is meditation, I wouldn’t get that. For me art is a struggle. It requires pushing oneself. Yet now I discovered, that mezzotint is a meditation for me. Yesterday I over-stimulated myself socially (in fact a couple of days in a row I […]
