ENGRAVINGS La Esperanza ("Hope") 2021, pear woodblock engraving

"La esperanza" ("Hope") (2021), 18 x 18 cm, woodblock engraving on pear wood, is a work in the key of a self-portrait.

It showed the ecological terror facing the region because of agrochemicals, burnings, drought and, of course, my own emotional state.
