Original art work made on paper by black acrylic paint, it is etching print, 1/1, signed by artist. by

This piece is an original print created using the drypoint technique on Tetra Pak, lending the artwork a distinctively expressive quality. Drypoint is a form of intaglio printmaking in which an image is etched directly onto a smooth surface, in this case, a Tetra Pak plate. Tetra Pak serves as a more accessible alternative to traditional copper or zinc plates while still allowing for the creation of rich, deep lines and a textured engraving effect.

The image portrays a human figure with an eagle’s head, evoking a sense of power and freedom. The black-and-white palette adds drama and contrast, highlighting every detail created by the needle. The lines etched into the Tetra Pak convey texture and volume, while the fine irregularities on the surface create characteristic “velvety” shadow transitions, a hallmark of drypoint.

Each print produced by hand in this drypoint technique has a unique quality, as variations can arise due to differences in pressure, ink thickness, and the hand-applied process itself. This technique imparts an artistic value and uniqueness to the piece, making each impression distinct.
