Abstract
Every artwork starts with the simple action of drawing a line. Straight, curved or mixed, the line has always been, for me, a source of fascination, because the magic of the line reflects an imprint that has layers of hidden meanings beyond the simple act of drawing.

Notes
- 1.
The book was an award winner at the “Dubai International Print Award”, 2011 More than 300 motifs, geometrically ornamented explored in four cities observed at ground level, over a journey where the decorated cement tiles still thrive, their moment of glory having been the years between 1910 and 1940. They are a true “work of art”, which would interest equally well lovers of art books as persons who appreciate decorative arts, architecture, design and arts and crafts, or who quite simply have a nostalgic curiosity for such works. These motifs are presented in their historical context and reproduced in drawing with their construction imprint.
