Original Gyotaku fish and nature impressions from the Canary Islands and beyond
Gyotaku (Japanese 魚拓, from gyo “fish” + taku “stone impression“) is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form of its own.
Using natural Sumi and squid ink,and printed on various types of paper or cloth in the traditional Japanese way. All prints are original and unique.
"Guided by the ocean and shaped by time in the water, my work emerges from a quiet dialogue with the sea. Following the tradition of gyotaku, each print is made in respect for nature and for the fish that sustain us, acknowledging their life and presence through the act of printing. Alongside fish prints, my practice extends to flora and surf-inspired works, reflecting the broader living environment of the ocean.
Using traditional gyotaku techniques, I create direct impressions of marine life—prints that carry presence, memory, and spirit. Each piece is a moment suspended between movement and stillness, where the ocean leaves its mark."
