Resolved Work 1

Artwork Statement:

I was inspired by Japanese artist, Hiroki Yamamoto‘s work ‘Haze in the summer’.

Reina Muller original Stencils and Airbrush work.

Linocut

First Trial of Linocut. There are many unsuccessful print one then I carve my mat again or changing block papers and ink’s viscosity.

I found out that cold press watercolour paper was the worst one for this type of printing. 

So I worked out more different linocut works. 

I have enjoyed this process of linocut print this time. I tried even different colours printing as well.

The dragon linocut work was a bit off the centre. So I decided to cut off the white space in the left .

Resolved Work 2

Reina Muller, The last wish, 2025, Linocut printmaking, Black ink and red pastel 13cm x 15cm

Artwork Statement: I personally sometimes paint or draw dragons. So why not try printmaking?

 I wanted to try to express the dragon’s scales this time. I used rubber linocut block and black ink for this work, dragon’s eye is soft pastel red colour.

Reina Muller, A flower Mithril, 2025, 60m(W)x 45cm(H) x 8cm(D)

Artwork Statement:  Flowers are normally metaphors and symbols of delicacy, beauty, fragility, and women, they are not symbols of fighting, battle, or strength. However, flowers are sometimes tough, resilient, and powerfully healing. Therefore flowers are strong even can even defeat the grizzly monster.
