ABOUT

bio

By Noel Samot, artist born in Lima, Peru and residing in Florida, USA, begins his journey as an architect, alternating with an innate passion for artistic expression. His art is clearly influenced by their academic background that infuses their creations with a sense of structure and design. The principles of balance, form, and composition merge harmoniously, giving birth to visually captivating pieces that evoke deep emotional responses.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My Stylographs are monochrome ink drawings on paper, occasionally accented with color highlights or gold leaf. They are inspired by visions, experiences, stories, and nature, expressed through metaphors and symbolism that take shape in geometric compositions, organic forms, and intricate textures.

Each work begins as a filigree of overlapping parallel lines that gradually evolve into Moiré patterns. From there, I refine textures, volumes, and contrasts to create a sense of depth and resonance.

Through this process, I seek to materialize inner visions and explore the most evocative possibilities of “the line.” My aim is to tell stories that invite viewers to discover their own interpretations and to find new images hidden within the textures of the drawing—like mirrors reflecting their own souls.

STYLOGRAPH

Stylograph is a drawing created through the use of ink applied with a stylographic pen (stylo), a term that designates both the technique and the resulting artwork.

Stylograph emerges as a technique, from past architectural drawing practice — precise and organized, detail-oriented, geometric patterns and restrained application of color — by exploring the expressive potential of the line.

Each Stylograph is constructed line by line, layer upon layer, as an exercise in patience and observation. This process reveals hidden patterns and shapes, often triggering new visual ideas. At a deeper level, it becomes a metaphorical invitation to focus on each small step that contributes to a complex and intentional vision.

Although a Stylograph may resemble an engraving, it differs in its direct application of ink onto the final substrate, leaving no margin for correction. This approach makes each work unique. Stylographs also diverge from traditional cross-hatching by relying on drawn squares rather than freehand strokes, reinforcing their architectural foundation.

To truly experience a Stylograph, it must be seen in person. Despite the minimal use of ink, the overlapping layers create a subtle three-dimensional effect impossible to perceive in different media. The dynamic focus of our vision allows us to discover new forms and textures within these intricate structures, inviting continuous rediscovery.
