Explore this contemporary engraving technique and learn to transfer photos to a photosensitive plate to print on paper
For Juan Lara, one of the great virtues of printmaking is that the techniques are not substituted for one another, but rather, like layers, they overlap and enrich the graphic universe. Juan is an artist whose work is always full of dualities: positive-negative, original-copy, white-black.
Specialized in photoengraving and committed to experimenting with different techniques, he has been awarded prizes such as the Jesús Nuñez, the V Certamen internacional Atlante, and the VII Premio Internacional de Grabado y Vino Fundación Vivanco. In this online course, explore both digital and analogue images with one of the most interesting methods of contemporary printmaking.
