“La Llorona” Four-layer reduction linocut by Milena Olga.
Hello everyone and welcome new ones! Here my representation of “La Llorona”, a mythical entity that everyone knows. In each Latin American popular culture she is represented in different forms and the history varies. But the most famous is the Mexican one (Saludos a mis vecinos mejicanos, maestros además de la gráfica🇲🇽🫶🇨🇺).
Reductive linocut is a block printing method in which each layer of color is taken from the same block. More linen is removed from the block for each layer and each color is printed on top of the last. Due to this, only one series can be done. It is carved and loses part of the design in each layer. This reductive linocut “La Llorona” was made in 4 layers. In a unique series of 35 copies.
Here you can see the design, carving and printing process. And the most important point of this technique, how to use the registration or guide so that each printed layer matches each other. Below I leave the link to the registration pins that I use.
If you want to know more about me and my work you can visit my website milinoink.com/. I am also on social media as Milinoink.
It is a pleasure to read what you think and answer any questions. I hope you enjoy the process and thank you again for being here!❤️

Te he descubierto hace poco y me encanta tu trabajo. 😍😍😍 Como se llaman las piezas esas metálicas que empleas para sujetar los papeles y que no se muevas?

Muchísimas gracias!❤️ Esas piezas se llaman en ingles “Terner Burton register pins” (las descubrí con este linoleo y son una maravilla!). En la descripción dejo el link donde los compré aqui en Europa, pero son de Estados Unidos, así que se deben encontrar mundialmente. Hay tres medidas de altitud, las que yo uso son las más bajas (1/4 x .055 R)
Fantastico

Hi Milinoink, great artistry, and so detailed! I've only just started lino printing and I still can't get my mind around reduction lino prints 😵💫 I guess it will come with time. I hope you don't mind me asking but what is the white powder you use and why do you use it?

Hallo! Thank you so much! It's good that you started. Welcome to this wonderful technique!🫶 To start with reductive linocut you can do it with 2 layers at the beginning. Then you can add more layers. Once you understand it it's not complicated. The white powder is baby powder, but you can use any colorless powder. This is used to keep your hands “clean” and not get ink on the paper. It can also be used in case an area of the linoleum block gets ink stained, you can put a little talcum powder and this neutralizes the inked area and does not stain the paper. It is also used to put on the rollers once they are clean, so they stay better over time and do not become sticky. If the ink is very fluid, talcum powder also serves as a thickener...And so on for many other things. It is very useful!

Good work, but that’s a Catrina, not la llorona.

Hola! Thanks for your appreciation! La Llorona is a mystical entity that takes place in every Latin American popular culture millennia ago, changing the version of the story a little but physically speaking they are all very similar. In this case I wanted to represent the Mexican. That's why I combined it with the makeup of the Catrina or Mexican death, a world icon of that beautiful country♥️

@@Milinoink in Mexico we don’t ever represent la llorona with Catrina makeup. I’m very familiar with the la llorona myth, and the Mexican version of it. I’m from Mexico City, where our version originated. La llorona is usually depicted as a very pale woman dressed in tatters with very long hair.

@@madmex123 Que bien! Entonces podemos hablar en nuestra lengua materna. Nunca he visto a “La Llorona” representada como catrina, sé que son dos personajes diferentes, tanto estéticamente como conceptualmente. Sin embargo tienen una conexión muy fuerte desde mi percepción de un modo totalmente opuesto. Una llora la muerte y la otra la celebra. Ya sea por el accionar o forma de ver la vida cada uno llebamos esto a cuestas, unos mas llorones, otros más catrinas.

@@Milinoink y tienes todo el derecho a representarla como te plazca, solo que, como lo dije anteriormente, en México no combinamos ambos personajes en uno solo. La Catrina tiene sus orígenes en los grabados del dibujante José Guadalupe Posada, a modo de sátira a las clases sociales altas, al llamarlas “Calaveras Garbanceras”. La llorona para nosotros es más bien como un personaje trágico, condenada a vagar por toda la eternidad por haber ahogado a sus hijos y por ende, algo que no es celebrado.
