Expanded silkscreen printing.

This month of July I have been in a seminar in Bilbao Arte Foundation.
The director of the seminar has been Pilar Valdivieso and the guest master has been Christian Walker.
It has been a great experience.
During the last years I have been thinking about the possibilities that the silkscreen printing offers to me for my art and this has been a great opportunity to explore the technic.
Here you are some pics working at the seminar:

Visita a Antón Hurtado en su estudio.

Hace unos días, después de mi periplo por norteamérica, me reencontré con Antón Hurtado en su estudio.

Me maravilla la energía y capacidad de trabajo que tiene, así da gusto, siempre le encuentras inmerso en algo.

As you can imagine... It has been difficult to update my blog lately. I still have to go trough all the photographs that I did.
