About this work
Lina Pigadioti-Tzima layers old print tricks with quick paint dabs.
This drawing shows rough lines and dots on brown paper. It looks like time scribbled itself here. Faint shadows and light marks hint at decay and order mixing.
Lina Pigadioti-Tzima layers old print tricks with quick paint dabs. The earthy colors feel heavy, like wet soil or old walls. She’s not drawing a thing. She’s drawing time itself—how it piles up and falls apart.
See how the marks crowd some spots but drift in others? That’s called cross-hatching. Look up Lina Pigadioti-Tzima, 1967.
