The artistic part of my Bachelor’s Degree consists of six prints made in intaglio printmaking techniques. Each one can be shown independently, but exhibited in a set they form a coherent collection. The artworks depict some organic structures inspired by dried plants. The etching technique was used in order to obtain a sketchy lines. Varied surfaces of shades of gray were made using the aquatint printmaking technique. The compositions are enriched by adding some irregular spots made as a result of sugar aquatint technique. The prints are in the shape of a square in size 50 x 50 cm. They are printed on Fabriano etching paper.
