About this artwork
I am experimenting with the Chinese technique of woodblock printing and the possibilities of combining printing methods with drawing. Chinese woodcuts are printed on a delicate handmade rice or bamboo paper using specific tools, rice glue and water. Because of the use of water and the delicacy of the paper, it is quite challenging to manage larger formats.
I try to combine the subtleness of the technique with the intensity of expression by drawing,… first in ink, and then painting while the mounted paper is still wet - I call this process "woodcut fresco". After the mounted paper is dry, I use coloured pencils for finer details or even more expressive finalising of the work, depending on the need.
The result is a complex combination of various Eastern and Western approaches to creating a work of art, whether it's about technique or simply the way it's made.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Lea Jerlagic is a painter, printmaker, and visual artist with a background in Western and Chinese printmaking, merging her academic training with Eastern influences. Her approach is experimental, using Chinese woodblock printing technique, calligraphic brushwork and drawing on delicate handmade papers, often enriching her pieces with tempera, acrylics, and colored pencils. Her compositions explore the complexity of human intimacy, with each line left boldly visible, expressing thus her passion for drawing and her search for truth.
Her work is an invitation to viewers to look inside and discover the vast landscapes of their own inner worlds.
