LIMITED EDITION
Lines Etched
Archival ink on paper, 2025 — 11.7 × 16.5 in | 29.7 × 41.9 cm
Lines Etched emerged as a natural extension of Tres Triangles, yet took on a character entirely its own. What began as an exploration of rectangles and squares became something more consuming — a hand-drawn architecture of nested forms, each one cross-hatched with dense, directional line until the page became a kind of city seen from above. Urban. Precise. Almost relentless in its geometry.
What surprises me still is that total control produced something that feels alive. The occasional black square punctuates the composition like a void — a window, an absence, a breath. The work rewards close attention; the further in you look, the more structure reveals itself. There is always another rectangle inside the last one.
Selected for the Biafarin Awards 2025 and listed on Artsy.net.

This artwork is shown in a room to give a sense of scale — the room setting is a visualisation, not a photograph. The drawing itself is exactly as pictured in the detail shots.

Size | Dimensions | Approx. Equivalent
A5 | 14.8 × 21 cm | Postcard / small artwork
A4 | 21 × 29.7 cm | Standard document / small statement piece

A0 | 84.1 × 118.9 cm | Full wall installation — commanding presence
Framing note: Standard frame sizes align with these dimensions. We recommend a white or natural linen mount in a frame 10–15cm larger than the print — this gives the work room to breathe and is how gallery pieces are typically displayed.
Not sure which size? A3 works well on a desk or shelf. A2 is the most popular for bedroom walls. A1 and A0 are statement pieces for living rooms, hallways, or spaces where the work needs presence from across the room.
