A4

€53.00

"Moon Boy" is an illustration for the fourth book of Mad Bartnicka. The Moon Boy is a tender, significant motif in the subtle relationship depicted in the book. The perspective of the mother's internal struggle in the face of circumstances, desires, and unconscious disorders, towards her child, who lives in his own magical world. 

Linocut is a handmade printmaking technique, where an artist carves a design into a linoleum block and prints it with ink onto paper, making each print truly one-of-a-kind.

The artwork is sold unframed and carefully packaged to ensure its safety. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity and a description of the print, personally signed by the artist.

This is how I made Moon Boy

“Moon Boy” began as a printed stack of A4 pages gifted to me by Mad Bartnicka. I read the book in that raw, paper form, and from there the image slowly started to take shape. Sketches turned into digital work, digital lines into carved marks, and finally ink met paper. From first drawing to final print - it’s a quiet, beautiful kind of magic.
