Untitled

As an untitled work in Abadal Lloret's mokuhanga output, this print reflects the position she occupies as one of a small group of Spanish practitioners working in the Japanese woodblock tradition. Based in Arenys de Munt in Catalonia, she translates a method developed in Edo for [nishiki-e](/glossary/nishiki-e) and [ukiyo-e](/glossary/ukiyo-e) production into a contemporary studio context shaped by European printmaking conventions. The technical signature of mokuhanga — water-based pigments, [baren](/glossary/baren)-pulled impressions, kentō-aligned multiple blocks, [washi](/glossary/washi) as ground — remains the constant; the visual vocabulary that European-trained printmakers bring to the medium is what shifts. Abadal Lloret's path from biology through her parents' Murtra Edicions studio and the Calella school positions her practice at an intersection: traditional Japanese technique, non-toxic process advocacy, and the wider Catalan tradition of fine-art printmaking. The print stands within that intersection rather than as an isolated image, and her sustained activity at the Art Print Residence has helped establish mokuhanga as a continuing presence within the Iberian print scene.
