Printing technique:
Risography is a unique technique that combines screen printing (serigraphy) and photocopying elements. Developed in Japan in the 1980s as a cost-effective method for producing high-volume prints, it has since gained popularity in the art and design world for its distinctive aesthetic. Indeed, this technique is widely used for creating zines, posters, art prints, and limited-edition books, offering a unique, textured aesthetic that stands out from standard digital printing.

The artist:
Julia da Costa is a French-born visual artist, illustrator, and psychologist. Since 2016, she has developed a diverse artistic portfolio centered on themes like feminism, identity, and mental health. Her work often combines personal and non-personal experiences with social commentary, presented through illustrations and graphic storytelling. For example, her graphic novel Pompette addresses alcoholism through a blend of humor and vulnerability. Her artistic style frequently incorporates bold, stylized feminine characters and employs text elements that evoke posters, blending introspection with a touch of sarcasm.
