Sayuka Bloodstone

Sayuka Bloodstone is a Japanese printmaker creating hand-pulled copperplate intaglio prints.

Each work is an original limited edition, printed by the artist from the copper plate — never a reproduction or digital print.

Her current series reimagines Greek mythological women as dark, introspective figures suspended between beauty and ruin, exploring themes of transformation, fate, and psychological tension.
