This exhibition shows how the Catalan artist Dolors Escala uses the monotype technique to create unique and distinctive engravings, working with form, texture, and color as if the print was a painting. From an engraving on a copper plate or iron with acid, she adds tree leaves and other materials, to create unique prints that are transferred to paper either by manually rubbing or using a press.

Over the years, she has incorporated many different techniques and artistic styles in her artworks. From a very young age, she wanted to be a painter and took private lessons with various painters. However, eventually, she found she could not find her own identity in that medium. Later in her life, while attending a school of textile design in Barcelona, a professor suggested that she explore the art of engraving.
