Original watercolor artwork "That’s where I draw a line" 2023 by Ala Ilescu Watercolor on 140 lb paper 11" x 15".Vertical position. Signed. This is the original painting from the art/ poetry book that I published in 2023 "My sad is sadder than yours" Here is the poem featured with this painting:
That’s where I draw a line
abusing me from very young
hurtful words, venomous tongue
entangled in your victim game
your personal doormat, I became
the day I realised you'd dimmed my shine
well, that's where I draw a line.

Encaustic monotype with tessellation fold.

10x18"

Miura Ori is the best-known and most used origami corrugation. The folded pattern is named after Koryo Miura, who later designed a variant for folding solar panels on Japanese space probes. Simpler tessellations have been known since the 16th century.

I have been using tessellations for several years now. I animate and add dimension to the flat prints by folding my encaustic monotypes into lyrical sculptures. The undulating angles and geometric forms twist and bend the printed patterns.
