Inside of a bark
These are the marks left by bark beetles inside of a bark.
The imprint
The bark of a tree was pressed onto a metal plate using a graphic press, leaving traces on the surface. The plate was then etched to create a matrix.
1/1 print
The imprint is printed on paper. This particular print is made with pencil graphite as pigment.
Colours
Colours for these prints are often made with ash, earth, sulphur or cement as ink pigments.
Authentic and Mediterranean
These handmade artworks are produced in Banjole, a provincial fishing village that has shifted its focus entirely to unsustainable tourism.
Currently, Studio MOT is dedicated to creating images that combine traditional graphic techniques such as woodcut, linocut, lithography, and etching in printmaking experiments.
Everywhere in the southern Istrian region, we see reminders that people
have been inhabiting this area for thousands of years- from the Histri, Roman Empire, Venice Republic, Napoleon, Austro-Hungary, Italy, Yugoslavia to present-day Croatia.
These prints aim to depict this incredible coexistence; the human endeavor to organize and coexist with nature that, regardless of our presence, follows its own course.

Printmaking process
Mandarine flowers
Flowers on a mandarin tree fall off as the fruit grows. An iron matrix collects the flowers underneath.
Flower imprint
Using traditional printmaking techniques the imprints of the fallen flowers are imprinted into the matrix.
1/1 print
Final result – several colours printed on the same paper with a frontal mandarine leaf imprint.
ORIGINAL PRINTS
Original prints are one-of-a-kind pieces of art that cannot be replicated. Each piece tells a unique story. Some are made using imprints of lobster antennae, bark beetle marks or olive tree flowers. Others are created with recycled construction materials such as tiles, fishing rope or Tetra Pak packaging, while some feature pencil interventions.
This collection showcases fine art prints made using a combination of traditional techniques with an experimental approach.
