Jef Diederen worked with paper of different sizes, structures and thicknesses. His choice therein was determined by the colour scheme and composition. In the case of bold colours and dense shapes, he often opted for a soft variant, such as Japanese paper, to enhance the contrast. ‘Sometimes,’ the artist said, ‘I made prints because I liked the paper.’ Diederen relished the challenge that the limitations of the materials and  graphic techniques imposed on him.
