Artwork description:

Representation of US singer, songwriter and activist in the civil rights Nina Simone.
Limited edition produced using manual printing techniques, fixing stencils cut by hand using X-Acto blades to silkscreen printing frames. Tones and shades are superimposed on each other, in a radical departure from usual silkscreen printing techniques. Executing this type of monoprint involves constant interplay between pre-production and then improvisation in the actual printing session.

Materials used:

Ink , Acrylic, Silver paint on 370 gr card
