Q: What is watercoloured serigraphy/graphic?

A: Each serigraphy (silkscreen or screen print) was printed in black and white (drawing only in most cases; in some cases, certain colours may be printed as well) and then manually watercolored by the author. Such work is thus unique because it was coloured by hand. Artworks may be similar (same art with similar colours) but they simply can’t be exactly the same because they were coloured by brush and by hand.
These are not serigraphies printed in full colour (all are the same) and numbered.

Q: What is watercoloured etching?

A: Each etching was printed in black and white (drawing only) from a copper plate and then manually watercolored by the author. It is thus unique because it was coloured by hand. Artworks may be similar – same drawing with similar colours – but they simply can’t be identical because they were coloured by brush and by hand.
This technique distinguishes it from other prints by having an”edge” you can see and feel.
