“It was an exceptional experience being immersed in this historic printing house. Their team helped me realize new ideas through the lithography process. Each print is unique, the red collaged areas are positioned in slightly different formats. I wanted each print to have a unique characteristic. Each viewer has the possibility of a singular encounter with the work, despite it being an editioned piece,” shares Jiménez.
