Invited by Ricardo Castro, who developed a pedagogical project entitled Big Bang (2023-2024), at ESAD.CR, I created two large linoleums (100X70 cm). Excerpt of the presentation text: “I like the ritual nature of printmaking, you draw and you carve, brush and clean, paint, print, start again. There is (almost) a brute force aspect handling some tools, which can contrast with the delicacy needed when printing and, off course, handeling the paper.  And there is a focused experimentation, from a single matrix we can obtain a variety of results depending on the paper and ink. A Big Bang of possibilities.”
