Engraver Reinis Gailītis

My name is Reinis. I am a printmaker specializing in hand-engraved printmaking techniques: wood engraving, copper engraving and the combination of both. These are some of the oldest and most difficult printmaking techniques. With the development of digital printing processes, traditional printmaking techniques nowadays have lost their practical purpose. But I still believe, that even in this day and age we can learn a lot from these techniques. They have something, that digital print processes can't achieve yet and I will try to do my best, to show it to You.
