The name Lisa Tognon is associated with excellence in the world of visual art. Her engravings are among those most prized by informed art lovers and collectors. Although technically remarkable, it is not solely her method which distinguishes her art from that of her peers. Rather, it is her expressive quality that never ceases to astonish her viewers. Sensitive, accurate and revealing, her works are the fruit of great artistic and human perspicuity. The accuracy of her drawing adds an almost blinding veracity to her expression of human feelings. She has only to draw a few lines to render a complete state of being. Her works are imprinted with pure aestheticism, completely exposed and at the same time mysterious. This mystery, which is linked to our own tenuous ability to grasp what is real, to our sense of apprehension when confronting the world around us, transcends our individuality. Without being either cynical or ironic, the artist uses line and form to give birth to signs and symbols that are both personal and universal. Her works demand viewers to be present, to be 'here and now,' with eyes and hearts wide open, ready to absorb the universe.
