Limited Edition Aquatint by Jaakko Mattila (2009)

Jaakko Mattila - Untitled (2009)
Limited edition aquatint on paper (1/20)
Framed size 53 cm x 84 cm

This is an original limited edition aquatint, hand-signed and numbered by Jaakko Mattila, whose work draws from Nordic modernism’s clear forms. The print plays with depth, rhythm, and the illusion of light through overlapping geometric fields - balancing mathematical precision with softness and movement.

Unlike reproduction prints, this work was created directly by the artist through the traditional aquatint process, making each print a unique piece of graphic art. Aquatint is a printmaking technique related to etching, where rosin is used to create tonal effects and painterly textures. The result is a richly layered surface with subtle gradations of color and depth. Each print is made from a hand-worked plate and pulled in a limited edition — this one being 1 of 20.

This piece offers a moment of calm and clarity—bringing balance to any room with its meditative use of color and form. Whether you’re drawn to contemporary Nordic art, or simply looking for a thoughtful addition to your walls, this limited-edition print is a timeless choice.
