Michaël Cailloux reinvents etching by cutting his copper plates with a jeweler’s saw, freeing the composition from any traditional frame. Combining drypoint mastery with experimentation, he creates rich, intricate worlds where botanical arabesques and animal figures interact in a bold, immersive scenography. Through the play of “varia,” each print becomes a unique work, enhanced by delicate inking and exceptional papers.
