What is lithography? Ewa Budka, her lithography prints, and how Mokulito technique became Budkalito

Arta

Budka finalised her research on a rarely practiced Japanese printmaking technique called Mokulito. She created her own printmaking technique naming it, Budkalito. With the exciting results of Budkalito, she was invited to give lectures and workshops around the world.

The “skin in the game” exhibition from 11 November to 16 December in Hong Kong presents Ewa Budka’s lithography prints and paintings. Ewa Budka, New York-based, born and raised in Poland captures her own stories - emotions which, like a tattoo on her skin are visible on her abstract paintings. Budka explores the complexity of having an international career as an artist, art director, model, and recently also a mom, and all which goes with it, the bad and good times - heartbreaks, frustration, happiness, and love.

The artist stated “Life is all about changes.

2020 had changed my life, it changed me in many ways.

I realised I have many different needs, desires. What I have had learned when I became a Mother is that there are many different Women inside of me. My body has spoken to me in so many different ways that I had to stop, and carefuly check where are coming from all of the whispers. I saw a space-a potential to check and I found in there many different Ewa’s.

A Mother, a Lover, an Independent strong fighter but also Ewa who wants to be taken care of. It took time to hear them all out, to direct who’s speaking when. They all can represent different personality archetypes of Greece Goddesses like Hera, Aphrodite, Anthena, Artemis. All powerful but so different. Finally my Women are all being respectful, friendly, gently living, to each other.

It almost feels that they all had been at fight in the past decade, and now finally I see them all. Clearly without a doubt I wouldn’t be able to listen to any of them if not the 2020.”
