LINE creates LIGHT
new limited edition prints
Castel del Monte — an elevated view capturing the 13th-century cityscape in meticulous line work and uniform hatching. The composition emphasizes the town’s organic layout highlighting both the complexity and its timeless solitude. Fine-detail rendering of shadows preserves an elegant minimalism. A textural piece for lovers of historic Italian architecture and minimalist, hand-drawn prints.
Low light sculpts the the cubist forms of Matera in Basilicata perfectly. My favourite city in all of Italy. Almost!
This print honors this medieval Basilicata mountain town where a tight cluster of small houses seem to cuddle together for warmth, their stone walls and snow covered roofs pressed into the cliffs beneath soaring rock peaks; narrow alleys and stairways wind between the buildings, revealing the town’s intimate scale and resilience. The dramatic vertical cliffs frame the scene and underscore how uniquely this settlement hugs the formidible landscape.
This town is Norwegian in feel with its dense cluster of narrow buildings with steep, pointy roofs rising from the page hatched in precise black ink, each defined by confident, deliberate lines.
Vertical timber planks and clapboard textures are suggested with fast, parallel strokes; occasional cross-hatching gives depth to roof tiles, shadowed eaves and recessed doorways. Windows lend personality, sometimes grouped in pairs, sometimes solitary.
The overall composition balances architectural detail with economical suggestion — the drawing captures the stoic, compact character of an old town without overworking every surface, leaving room for mood and imagination.
Arrow Town, (second edition of this popular drawing)
A minimal, abstracted hilltop Italian town rises in spare, confident lines toward a solitary church perched at its summit; the village roofs below point upward like arrows, their simple, repeated forms gesturing in unison as if honoring and supporting the faith above. Negative spaces defines terraced slopes, while subtle variations in stroke weight suggest texture without clutter. The composition’s restraint—economy of detail, rhythmic repetition, and a clear vertical pull—creates a built landscape in an act of collective devotion, both architectural and spiritual.
This impression of Frederik’s Church designed in 1740, is created with precise lines of detailed architecture. The dominating dome is defined by fine hatching and contrasted against lots of negative space for depth and texture. Black on white gives a timeless, graphic and minimalist look. Perfect for fans of the Danish capital and its architecture, this print adds a quiet, historical presence to any wall.
Moresco is a small, hilltop village in the Marche region of central Italy, perched above the rolling countryside between the Adriatic coast and the Apennine foothills. With origins stretching back to medieval times, the town preserves a compact historic center of stone houses, narrow alleys and remnants of defensive walls that evoke its past as a fortified settlement.
The skyline is punctuated by a simple clock tower and the remains of a castle, while quiet piazzas and terraced streets reveal sweeping views over olive groves, vineyards and patchwork fields. Local architecture is modest and traditional: rough-hewn stone facades, tiled roofs and arched doorways that reflect the rural charm of the area.
The Tempietto in Rome by Leon Battista Alberti is a small Renaissance masterpiece that turns classical harmony into a simple, elegant form. With careful proportions, a clear geometric plan, and measured use of columns, it shows Alberti’s humanist idea: architecture as orderly, rational beauty from the past. Its restrained decoration, balanced cornices, and play of light and shadow give it a calm, sculptural feel. Drawn in loose, fine swirling lines, this drawing captures the light and shape of the mini temple so distinctively.
Poidao, Portugal — a tonal study of rendered texture and pattern capturing the tightly knitted stone houses, narrow streets and stepped passageways. This pen-and-ink drawing explores the layered surfaces of aged masonry, the rhythm of slate roofs and the play of shadow in alleys that wind and rise. Every line emphasizes the intimate scale of a community shaped by stone and slope, where architecture and everyday life converge. A quiet, detailed portrait of place that invites slow looking and discovery.
