Layered Woodcut Artwork with Octopus – Process Description (English):

This piece was created using a multi-layered woodcut technique. It consists of four layers of intricately cut wood panels, each painted in shades of teal to represent an underwater scene with varying depths. These layers were individually designed and cut to create a topographic effect, resembling a deep-sea environment.

After stacking and aligning the four layers to form a sense of depth, a separately cut red octopus figure was added on top of the deepest layer as a focal element. The octopus was painted in a contrasting red tone to stand out and add visual interest to the piece.

The final composition combines both 3D relief and layered negative space, resulting in a vibrant and playful oceanic diorama.
