Aesop: Animals vs Animals

The series of woodcut prints Animals vs Animals inspired by Aesop’s fables is part of a publishing project and is not for sale. Realized as part of artistic research, the project explores the tradition of engraving through the visual reworking of some of the most famous animals from Aesop’s fables, whose wisdom and irony have spanned the centuries. The works, conceived as an artist’s book, are part of a creative journey that combines the art of engraving and storytelling, but remain an element of a personal portfolio and editorial proposal. They are not intended for sale but represent a unique interpretation of Aesop’s timeless stories. Aesop’s stories tell us about animals that talk, think and, of course, have a lot to teach. From cunning hares to slow but winning turtles, each print captures the essence of these characters, making them perfect for those who love art and stories with a hint of morality. But beware: these works are limited editions, so don’t wait too long to add some animal wisdom to your collection.

Aesop was a famous writer and storyteller of antiquity, known for his moral fables, often told through animals that speak and act like human beings. Although there is no concrete evidence about his life, it is believed that he lived in Greece in the 6th century BC and that his stories were passed down orally. Aesop’s fables have greatly influenced Western culture, teaching universal life lessons such as the cunningness of the wolf, the slowness of the tortoise, and the impatient hare, which still resonate today as allegories and principles of folk wisdom. Aesop Animals vs. Animals is hand-bound and printed on high-quality rosaspina paper. Visit the print portfolio and follow the Instagram and TikTok channels to keep up to date with the latest work.
