Welcome to Esther Kamkar's
Poetry and Monoprint Art

Gelatine Monoprints. An exploration of poetry in art

Original handmade Monoprints and limited-edition Giclee prints by poet and artist Esther Kamkar available by arrangement.

Esther Kamkar invites you to enjoy a journey of Art-as-Poem through an unusual new series of individually-signed monoprints.

Deep richness of color and texture are developed layer by layer, leaving you to discover what you see, feel and sense through your relationship with each work. A brilliant focus for a large feature wall or intimate sanctuary.

The process of monoprinting means the original is unique - never to be repeated, unless reproduced as a limited-edition print series.
