In this series, Barbara explored spirited and vibrant colours—hues that vanish, only to reappear moments later in the background. Colours that flow and rush, moving fluidly from one place to another.
Since 2020, she has been printing to the fullest using the risograph technique. The inks are so unique, as they are made from soy and rice. Thanks to the ink’s rich texture and oily composition, the colours blend beautifully.
“While working on this series, I was reminded of the beautiful, pearlescent Koi fish—the carp with their striking, vibrant patterns. They often wear bold reds and blacks, glowing orange-browns, soft creamy whites, and shimmering silver tones.”
