Ribera is an abstract drypoint and aquatint by Christian Bozon, dominated by a dense field of saturated blue framed by rough, irregular edges of ochre and pale cream. The composition reads as both elemental and architectural, with the blue expanse functioning as a river-like presence held between eroded banks.

The surface bears the subtle abrasions, tonal depth, and tactile irregularities characteristic of Bozon’s printmaking practice. Though resolutely abstract, Ribera suggests geography and passage—water, boundary, and time—inviting a meditative engagement with color, texture, and spatial balance.
