Works on paper

This selection of studies and tests was created for my current project, City Limits. These works are based on drawings I made during my walks, focusing on fences and structures that define spaces. I use these elements to explore forms of representation and analyze how they organize space.

The embossed prints on paper serve as material tests. I explore the possibilities of this technique before applying it to canvas. For these, I used cardboard prototypes that I pressed onto different types of paper, allowing me to experiment with variations in texture, pressure, and surface quality.
