About this work

You see a grid of sharp, twisting lines in black ink and charcoal, like a maze made of folded paper. Rayo drew these shapes without lifting his pen—each line loops and doubles back on itself. The effect is almost 3D, as if the flat page is bending into space. He called this style "intaglio drawing," borrowing a printmaking term for ink pressed into grooves. To see how other artists play with lines this way, look up cross-hatching.
