30x40cm copperplate etching
-
2023 marked the 125th anniversary of the birth of artist M.C. Escher. For this occasion, Grafische Werkplaats (The Hague, NL) invited me to work from the theme 'infinity' while using a printmaking technique of choice. This provided a great opportunity to learn how to make etchings.
The image depicts a wild storm in which ships are being swallowed by an abstract spiral. The center is surrounded by fire, thundering clouds and a turbulent sea. The ships symbolize man's subservience to the forces of nature.
