Julio Valdez



Julio Valdez's printed oeuvre attests to the significant role that printmaking can play in artist's career. Since1988, Valdez has made nearly 50 editioned prints, at least as many related proofs, and over 100 monotypes. His experimental mixture of techniques and openness to new processes continue to expand his creative program and the technical range of his work in all mediums.






Check out Julio Valdez website. It has a force of its own!

The force and beauty of Mr. Valdez's work is amazing. Seeing his work- especially his prints- in person would be such a treat. The essay you linked hints at some interesting printing techniques and possibilities to research. It also offers a wonderful glimpse of the energy and inspiration found in collaborative efforts/projects. I'll be exploring his website further for others gems. Thanks Mandy, for offering another artist to be inpsired by.
