Eva Pietzcker

B. 1966

“Compared to the Western method, where oil-based ink, applied to the block with a roller, is printed onto the paper’s surface with the help of a press, in the Japanese style, watercolor paint is applied to the block with brushes and printed by hand, allowing the color to seep deeply into the soft Japanese paper. As a result, these Japanese style prints tend to have a more painterly appearance and can often resemble watercolor paintings.”

Eva Pietzcker is a Berlin-based artist whose work features landscapes and still lifes from the Pacific Northwest, Japan, and other regions she has visited. Pietzcker was born in Tübingen, Germany in 1966 and studied fine art at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Nuremberg and the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. She specializes in moku hanga, a type of Japanese woodblock printmaking that creates watercolor-like prints by hand without the use of a press. Pietzcker’s landscapes typically begin with a quick sketch on location to capture the scene. She then transitions to the high precision and concentration of her studio to translate the drawings into woodblocks for printing. Her prints are known for their quiet beauty and masterful technique. Pietzcker’s work has been exhibited internationally including in Germany, France, Japan, and the United States.
