Statement
El grabado es considerado un género conservador, pero desde que empecé a construir decidí hacer algo diferente con la técnica, utilizar su lenguaje, desarrollarlo de la manera que me interesaba, encontrar nuevas variaciones... Quería revolucionar su base, por ejemplo, haciendo impresiones tridimensionales.
