Graphic arts (printmaking), which creates Ewa Kutylak, are mostly drypoint, mezzotint, etching and engraving. These are metal matrix processing techniques (intaglio), where the ink goes beneath the original surface of the matrix, from which are created prints on a paper. Each print is numbered and their number depends on the choice of technology, usually it is 30 to 40 pieces.

Engraving – engravers use a hardened steel tool called a burin to cut the design into the surface of a copper plate (copperplate). Gravers come in a variety of shapes and sizes that yield different line types. The plate is inked all over, and then the ink is wiped off the surface, leaving only the ink in the engraved lines. The plate is then put through a high-pressure printing-press together with a sheet of moistened paper. The paper picks up the ink from the engraved lines, making a print. Work is characterized a thin and sharp ended line.

Drypoint – for this technique, the lines of the image are scratched directly into a plate with a sharp needle called the drypoint needle. While engraved lines are very smooth and hard-edged, drypoint scratching leaves a rough burr at the edges of each line. This burr gives drypoint prints a characteristically soft, and sometimes blurry, line quality. Because the pressure of printing quickly destroys the burr, drypoint is useful only for small editions, about thirty prints.

Mezzotint – a variant of engraving where the plate first is roughened evenly all over; the image is then brought out by scraping smooth the surface, creating the image by working from dark to light. Mezzotint is known for the luxurious quality of its tones: print is characterized subtle tonal transitions from black to white, soft halftones.
