About this work

This print shows a dark, tangled scene with a mix of human and animal shapes. A figure lies on its back, arms outstretched, while a snake-like form coils above it. The textures are rough and layered, with thick lines and patches of shadow. The artist used a printing method that creates deep, uneven marks—some areas look almost scratched. This piece feels raw and intense, like the figures are caught in a moment of struggle. Next, check out etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints like this.
