About this work

This print shows bright orange flowers with sharp, flat shapes. Each petal has a white pattern inside, like a star or a swirl. The background is filled with tiny yellow lines that look like pollen or light rays. The artist used a method where ink is pressed onto stone and then paper. This makes clean, bold lines like you see here. The flowers don’t look real—they’re more like geometric designs. Next, check out lithography to see how this printing technique works.
