Lo que destaca por encima de todo es la maestría compositiva de Violeta Monreal. Cada shikishi es una estructura cuidadosamente equilibrada, donde papeles rasgados, piedras y fragmentos de plantas establecen las formas principales —acantilados, ríos, horizontes— mientras que los elementos más pequeños crean ritmo y detalle. A menudo, una piedra real o una planta prensada se colocan en un punto decisivo, convirtiéndose en el ancla de toda la composición.

What stands out above all is Violeta Monreal’s compositional mastery. Each board is a carefully balanced structure where torn papers, stones, and fragments of plants establish the main forms—cliffs, rivers, horizons—while smaller elements create rhythm and detail. Often a real stone or a pressed plant is placed at a decisive point, turning it into the anchor of the whole composition, and small accents of color—like a little red sun or a small flower—act like sparks of life.
