These are truly works of a master. Each piece is entirely hand made and thus each piece within the edition is unique.
HAND MADE INTAGLIO PRINTS BY KRAVJANSKY
Mikulas Kravjansky excels in the artistic printing technique known as intaglio. This includes etching, engraving, dry point, aquatint, mezzotint, linocut, wood block and collograph.
In this complex process the image is created by the artist on a plate of copper, aluminum, plastic or other material by adding to, or subtracting from, the surface of the plate. All ink colors are applied to the plate and a sheet of wet hand made paper placed on it. This is covered with felt and run through steel rollers of an etching press. As water is squeezed from the paper, suction draws the ink into the paper.
This hand procedure is repeated for each piece of the edition. After drying for a week, Kravjansky may add hand painting or laminate metallic inlays to the work. His editions are small as these plates will only print a limited quantity before wearing out, after which he destroys the plates.
Note the picture of a mural painted by Kravjansky on a building in downtown Napa CA depicting scenes and images from the turn of the century (circa 1900). Also shown is a picture of the artst painting.
