Printmaking workshops
Creating printmaking workshops has been crucial to my artistic journey. These workshops have helped me develop a comprehensive approach to exploring the intricate connection between materials and abstract concepts. Acting as a catalyst, these workshops allow me to engage with printmaking both as a performance and as a conversation with materials.
Screen printing, in particular, was a milestone in this process. It is a silent, unseen performance. A screen is a membrane or filter for information that is about to be reproduced. The process itself is a metaphor of the memory.
Making is a universal language without boundaries. I had a chance to see how it breaks cultural barriers. In materiality, all complex terms find themselves embedded in simplicity. I use this simplicity to communicate philosophy, to make it accessible through making. Interaction with materials is a simple, mechanical, and repetitive system that allows for both learning with people and learning for people.
This workshop has been dedicated to showcasing metaphysics in a particular retrospective of the printmaking process that can simultaneously reveal the limits of difference.

Printmaking with children
In 2023, I led a printmaking workshop and served as an artist in residence at the bilding School of Art and Architecture in Innsbruck. Working with children offered a unique perspective on the essence of materials and their interconnectedness through printmaking.
Often the work was created through an interplay between abstract printmaking and intuitive drawing.
