Description
Euro Beech is a hand-carved woodblock print that embodies the strength and power of a fully mature bonsai tree. Its commanding presence speaks to endurance and resilience, while its balanced form reflects the harmony found in Japanese Aesthetics. The tree becomes a living sculpture — grounded, dignified, and filled with quiet energy.
The woodblock relief process gives Euro Beech a striking boldness. By carving into the wood, the artist creates areas of relief that remain unprinted, leaving the black ink to stand out in dramatic contrast against the natural white of the paper. This method also produces a subtle embossing, a tactile depth that cannot be replicated by machine printing.
The combination of bold imagery, the luster of hand-applied ink, and the unique embossing effect makes each impression of Euro Beech a one-of-a-kind work of art. It is a celebration of bonsai’s timeless beauty and the enduring artistry of Japanese woodblock printmaking.
