“Urodzaj II”; i wanted to revisit the theme of pomegranates and figs that i had already explored before in my work. i rarely make prints in shape of a circle or a square; i feel the composition is more challenging. in the second version of “Urodzaj,” i added olive branch to the design #printmaking

the print with a fire salamander was inspired by Władysław Siwek’s illustrations - amazing Polish scientific illustrator also known for documenting his time in concentration camp. if it wasn’t for his art, he wouldn’t have survived. after the war, he was making illustrations of animals. #printmaking
