Whisper of Pointe Shoes

In this series of etchings, the artist invites the viewer into the world of ballet not from the triumphant front of the stage, but from its intimate reverse — where focus, anticipation, and silence reign.

The artist masterfully conveys an atmosphere of concentration and fragile beauty, using the drypoint technique to achieve a unique texture and softness of line.

The inspiration is drawn from classical ballet — Swan Lake, Carmen, The Little Humpbacked Horse — but here, the spotlight is not on the performance itself, but on the person within the art: delicate, alive, and real.
