Engraved prints

This large-scale intaglio print is made using collagraph printing, a versatile process which consists in inking and printing textured surfaces. Master printer Dan and fellow Guillermo collaborated with Spanish artist Jacobo Castellano to create this piece inspired by Art Deco lotus flower arrangements. The large-scale prints are produced from different types of wood which are cut, re-shaped and assembled again into new patterns, defined by strong lines and semi-geometrical shapes.
