The Waves of Migrating Birds Have Darkened the Infinity (from the Autumn series) 

Vasile Dobrian made this print in 1996. You can see the artist’s hand in the application of color, a combination of earth tones and grays. The simple shapes suggest a leaf, a landscape, birds. The print-making process allows for multiple impressions, connecting art to the world of mass production, yet the artist has also numbered this print as ‘9/10’, reminding us of its precious, limited status. The texture of the paper and the ink give the artwork a tactile quality. It invites us to consider the connection between the artist’s labor and the final product. The blending of these colors is soft and imperfect, resulting in an image that seems to be in constant flux. Through material and process, Dobrian merges fine art with everyday life, inviting us to see the beauty and meaning in both.
