Untitled (Natural History Museums Series) Photograph - Limited Edition of 6

María Fernanda Pallares is an Uruguayan artist who focuses her artistic practice on printmaking and approaches photography from a perspective in which manual work predominates. Fernanda pays special attention to the material supports and techniques that give us a more tactile and intimate experience with photographic images. Combining it with contemporary techniques, Fernanda takes advantage of a late 19th century procedure called Photogravure on copper plate. This is a printing technique so cumbersome that, despite being appreciated for its beauty and the character it gives to the surface, it is currently practiced by few studios in the world. This exceptional nature gives the results of this printing process an additional symbolic meaning. You can consult the site which is an excellent source to spread the qualities for which photogravure prints are so appreciated.
