Mastering traditional printmaking techniques requires both significant time and reliable access to specialized facilities. During my bachelor’s studies, I immersed myself in a broad spectrum of processes, including linocut, silk screen printing, drypoint, mezzotint, aquatint etching, photopolymer, and lesser-explored methods such as collagraphy and monotype. After completing my master’s degree, I returned to printmaking, building on this foundation to refine my practice further. As part of this renewed focus, I studied lithography and woodcut at the Norwegian Printmakers Workshop, deepening my technical and artistic expertise.
These galleries showcase a selection of my print-based artworks, accompanied by images of various printing techniques and processes from different periods and studios. They offer a brief glimpse into my evolving engagement with printmaking, illuminating both the creative methods and the environments that have shaped each piece.
Here, you can witness the intricate process of creating the lithograph Ravnen. It involves a meticulous series of steps: preparing and grounding the lithographic stone, drawing on its surface, applying ink, and repeatedly printing the artwork on a manual press. Although it demands considerable physical effort, the process is immensely rewarding.
