Technical Process of the Serigraph Retorno a Soy Cubano


Previous analysis of the original.

Selection and separation of colors (shades and values of the work).

Elaboration of tracings, from the shades and values of the work using traditional elements such as paintbrushes, crayons, painting pencils and others.

Impression or printing that is made over a thin cardboard for each one of the edition copies and for each color, using a kind of wing having a tensioned piece of silk with the helping of a racket, a manual displacement of the ink is ejected from one side to another. To obtain effects in the impression is better to work on open screen (over the silk) using primitive elements to achieve the right texture and effects of each part of the original.

Each color is printed one by one, having an interval from five to ten minutes of drying.

When the impression of each color ends up, every copy is cleaned or curated.

Finally, the edition is coined on the left side and enumerated according to the corresponding issue´s number of each copy. For example:from (1/100) to (100/100) for a-100-copies edition.
