Algae collection
My series of Lanzarote Algae printed on Arches Platine 310 g cotton paper, using a hake brush for coating the emulsion, leaving the brush strokes visible.
A series of prints on Canson Watercolor paper, framed into a recycled cardboard hand painted frame.
On glasses and on bottles, the print is made on tissue paper.
Medicine-Plants
The cardboard frame is a scrap from another cyanotype print.
Plantas-Medicamentos.
En el tentativo de mantener la salud utilizamos medicamentos, procedentes de plantas u obtenidos por síntesis. Sobre la materia, algunos mitos o miedos reinan generando visiones diferentes. Intentando acercarme artisticamente al asunto, he fotografiado algunas Plantas medicinales de Lanzarote e impresas en #cianotipia sobre prospectos de Medicamentos. El marco en cartón es reciclado de otra impresión en cianotipia.
Video of my printing process
En solo dos minutos el video del trabajo que hago en tres días: cortar todo el papel, poner la emulsion, exponer, revelar, etc. hasta la impresión final lista para ser vendida en los mercadillos artesanos de Lanzarote o enviada en todo el mundo.
Photo with Poetry – limited edition print
The first print I offer you is a wonderful moment at sunset in Famara, Lanzarote. Young boys gliding with gestures that reminded me La Danse by Matisse.
It comes together with a dedicated, free verse poem by Solange Rincón, a good friend and poet living in Maracaibo, Venezuela, who won several prizes and have books published.
Large panoramas
The colours of the following images are an approximation due to reproduction techniques changed during time.
Ermitas Icónicas
Gilded over a red base, referring to the bizantine iconography like those medieval paintings made on wooden table by Cimabue in Italy and also in Eastern Europe.
They are 10×10 cm
Organic art – limited edition large prints
These prints, using the historic photographic process of Cyanotype, have been handmade in Lanzarote and show you organic parts found in the island. Each photograph has been hand printed on a thin paper, the Hahnemuhle Sumi-e 80g rice paper, that has been bonded later over Arches Platine 100% 310g pure cotton paper as a heavier support, with a technique called Chine Collé, using natural powdered starch paste. The Chine Collé is water reversible, put the work of art into water (pH 7) for one hour to detach the print from its paper support.
The work of art is attached to a fine-art Aluminium Dibond with a thin double-sided adhesive tape all around its borders and kept under light pressure to cure. The Dibond has a square frame on the back to help you hang the work on your wall.
Each print is labelled on the back of the dibond with the edition details and signed. A certificate of autenthicity comes within the work. All the works are carefully protected with packaging foam and put inside a customized cardboard box. The box(es) are shipped safely protected with other wrapping material, inside an outer box. Registered mail, or collect it in person.

La Gran Calima – limited edition prints
I wanted to depict it since a long time, and the time arrived with a huge one. All becomes brown and the sun is barely recognizable, there is a hot diffused light from dazzling to soft, and wind.
I have tested and developed a special linearization system during lockdown, to elaborate the negative so that all the fading shades of the highlights can be there, smooth in the print. A difficult task with Classic Cyanotype formula.
I am happy to offer you this series in a limited edition of 50, made on Arches Platine 310 g, museum quality 100% cotton rag, size is 30×40 cm.
Large botanicals
In the following galleries, for each print the full image is shown first, inside a frame as a suggestion, and then two details are shown immediately after. In the last two galleries you will find prints where it has been done a very light work with pencils to highlight the leaves movement.
