Every monoprint begins on a gel plate: a flexible surface on which I work with acrylic paint. Instead of painting directly onto paper, I build up the image layer by layer on the gel plate.
Using a roller, I apply different layers of paint. By experimenting with colour, pressure, and various materials, textures, patterns, and subtle colour transitions emerge. Throughout the process, I continuously add new layers or remove paint again. Slowly, the composition begins to take shape.
Once the image feels complete, I place a sheet of paper onto the gel plate. By applying even pressure, the paint is transferred from the plate onto the paper. Only when I lift the paper does the final result reveal itself.
It is a one-time process: once the paper is removed from the gel plate, no paint remains on the surface, which means the exact same print can never be created again. Even when using the same colours or techniques, the result will never be identical. Every monoprint is therefore a truly original work of art.
My monoprints are carefully reproduced from the original artwork as fine art prints or canvas prints. Using high-quality printing techniques, the colours, textures, and details of the original piece are preserved as faithfully as possible. This allows the character and atmosphere of the original monoprint to become available in different sizes and to complement a variety of interiors.
On this page, you can watch two short videos that show the creative process: from applying the paint onto the gel plate to the moment when the final print appears on paper.
