This is a special hand printed woodcut in bluish turquoise on Hahnemühle paper 220g/m2, numbered and signed as number 3 in the total edition of 5. The quality of the print is excellent, showing all the small details of the lines and developing its special "charm" due to the traces of the printing process. And beautifully appears the depth of the phthalo blue-green color, changing its light and density of the ink by coming closer or walking aside. This work may remind of classical Japanese engravings, like "The big wave of Kanagawa" from Katsushika Hokusai, as well as Caspar David Friedrich’s aforementioned abstract romanticism, as his painting "The monk by the sea" is a very strong inspiration for this particular work. Also the Rhine photos of Andreas Gursky could be mentioned, which gave the inspiration for the clear horizontal composition. The title "Cordoama" refers to a place at the west coast of Portugal, one of the most western points of Europe from where the great discoveries startet. "The resulting system makes the surface into lattice structure that consist of triangles, that is geometric, and while observing it from close, it can be called an abstract net. While the starting point of the woodcut is still the moment of the stationery picture of the visible world, or rather, at the intersection of the place where the lines cross each other, the works of art get one step closer to geometric abstraction or we can say: to the resolution of the printing technology , where points are born, that resemble the pixels of a digital photograph."

„For many years now, Stefan Osnowski has been concerned with a new approach to wood engravings and has been developing the opportunities inherent to the technique. When preparing the engravings enlarged to the size of an easel painting, he creates a range of tonal values purely through the variation of the width and depth of the carved lines, horizontal and vertical or diagonal, as well as through the alteration of the density of the grid whilst retaining a purely monochrome imagery. His printing technique also deviates from the norm, due to the use of a palm- size glass lens to manually rub the ink onto the paper rather than a printing press, thus preserving the apparent uniqueness of each individual item in a series. Physical contact and hand-crafting is just as much a part of the concept as gathering a theme or selecting a medium.”
