My Cat Theodor. (2025) Etchings & engravings by Vaclav Iljasenko

I often can’t find my cat in the apartment. He loves hiding in boxes, closets, and even in the washing machine.

I created this print using the Tetrapak printing technique. I really enjoyed working with this contemporary printmaking method. It is very similar to drypoint and produces beautiful, expressive lines. However, only a limited number of prints can be made from each plate — usually no more than 10–12 impressions.

Materials used:

Tetra Pak drypoint
