Behind this print
2011. I was finally making a longly expected trip to El Chaltén, in southern Patagonia Argentina. As soon as we came down of the bus, I was amazed by the perfection and beauty of the Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.
I had never seen such magnificent creation of nature, standing there as two giants watching over this amazing little town.
Back in the city, I decided to make two print series as a way put my fascination into paper. This is the first one of them: the Fitz Roy silkscreen prints.
