Art with Seeds

Engraving is an artistic discipline in which the artist uses different printing techniques, which have in common the drawing of an image on a rigid surface, called a matrix, leaving an imprint that will later house ink and be transferred by pressure to another surface such as paper. or fabric, which allows to obtain several reproductions of the prints. Depending on the technique used, the matrix can traditionally be made of metal (copper or zinc), wood, linoleum or stone, on whose surface it is drawn with sharp, cutting instruments or through chemical processes. Plates made of different synthetic materials are also currently used, which can be engraved in the traditional way with punches or by means of photographic, digital or laser procedures.
