A major inspiration for my prints is life drawing which I do regularly. As the focus of my work at Leeds Arts University I explored ways of developing prints from the drawings with a focus on movement and abstraction.

During lockdown life drawing went online, the drawings of Mariano were based on his online modelling.

The print above is a dry-point, it was exhibited at Wakefield artwalk, also during lockdown where shop windows were used to display the artwork for people to walk round and view.
