Father (2023) Etchings & engravings by Mario Sánchez

This soft varnish engraving presents “father” looking at us from the side with a serious and somewhat dark complexion, making us reflect on what he may be thinking.
With a carmine background we are drawn to the figure whose color is created from a paper glue that together with the play of drawing creates a disturbing whole.
