by Manel Villalonga

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

The use of prints, floral patterns, and Baroque/Rococo decorative motifs suggests an art historical influence. The image depicts a female figure with a complex print and geometric patterns. The color palette is dominated by blues and whites, creating an interesting visual contrast. Various textures are combined with a composition that appears to superimpose layers of prints and textures on a base, resulting in a complex and multifaceted image. The compositional approach focuses on a complex and fragmented representation of the figure, where the different elements come together into a single work of art.
