“Untitled. Trame” is a series of works in which the visual exploration focuses on the concept of "mutable repetition" of patterns and graphic motifs. The motifs are created using the frottage technique, with an engraved linoleum matrix and wax pastels.

In this artwork, I was inspired by medieval tapestry, offering a personal reinterpretation of its visual effect and color palette.

These works represent an attempt to create a dialogue between the principle of printmaking seriality and the imperfection of manual creation. The matrix, usually used to produce a series of identical multiples, in this case, generates variable graphic elements. This diversity arises from the imperfections caused by the manual gesture, making each reproduced graphic motif different from the others.
