Violet Pale
Immerse yourself in a Gothic, enigmatic atmosphere and discover the story of Violet Pale and her cats
"Violet Pale" draws inspiration from the mysterious and enchanting elements of Gothic storytelling. The composition reflects a fascination with darker themes, evoking a quiet sense of intrigue. Cats, often associated with the enigmatic and symbolic in folklore, played a key role in shaping the atmosphere of this work.
The tonal transitions and carefully carved forms aim to convey a sense of stillness and contemplation, inviting the viewer to uncover their own narrative within the design. This reduction linocut incorporates three layers—lilac fading into white, black blending into lilac, and solid black—adding depth and texture to the piece.
Printed on 250 gsm Canson Edition paper, made from 100% cotton, this limited-edition artwork combines tactile quality with an evocative mood. Some prints feature deckle edges, enhancing their organic and timeless appeal.
This work was awarded first place in the Pressing Matters Magazine competition, celebrating the theme "Black and Lilac/Pale Violet."
