About this work

You see a woman curled on her side, eyes closed, arms tucked under her head. The lines are bold and black, carved into linoleum like a stamp. Shadows fall in sharp angles, making her look both solid and weightless. Lecaros printed this by hand—no press, just muscle and ink. The rough edges of the carving show where the tool slipped or hesitated. It’s quiet, but the marks feel alive, like a quick breath held on paper. To see how other artists carved light and shadow this way, look up chiaroscuro.
