La traslación de la línea desde el dibujo a la obra gráfica

Abstract

The artistic drawing is an autonomous, complex and polysemic language capable of constituting itself as an aesthetic, conceptual and emotional forceful discourse. In turn, it is unavoidable to link the development of drawing as an instrument that facilitates both expression and communication with the exploration and researching process within engraving. That means the appropriation of techniques, tools and resources; turning them all into a style, a “manner” that allows the generation of a personal language that reflects the cosmos of the creator from its confrontation with the different media. In this sense, this article offers a personal perspective where the line is the anchor point between the plastic research developed from the drawing with the Voyeur series and its translation or transit towards the engraving, which implies the restructuring of the line in tune with the demands and characteristics of traditional artistic printing techniques, causing that transit between the stroke draw on a paper and the future print to transform into an adaptation or translation of the image. Likewise, a proposal of subjective classification of the line in the Voyeur series is proposed.
