This is why printmaking is so important:
The human being is designed to experiment, create, and be a constant seeker of novelty, exercises that are constantly found and developed in the essence of the process of the art of printmaking. That is why great masters like Rembrant, Goya, Zorn, Cassat, Degas, and many others, have been enchanted by the ink and the act of engraving the line, as well as by the artistic richness and beauty of printing art on paper.
The entire process of printmaking is unique and special for its collaborative nature, the alchemical evidence of the process, the virtuosity of the sense of labor and the conservation of tradition. The journey through the techniques of traditional printmaking broadens and deepens the fundamentals of art, complementing the training of an integral artist.
In a world where accelerated speed threatens to fade memories, the art of printmaking appears as a rescue to the richness of process awareness, which requires whoever is immersed in it, an approach to the heart of professionalism in skills of the virtues of craftsmanship, as well as the purest management of the creative transformation of matter, and a deep immersion in the first bases of all artistic disciplines such as line, light and color.
