Manolo Valdés — Jarrón de dos Asas
Manolo Valdés

Jarrón de dos Asas

A richly textured composition by celebrated Spanish artist Manolo Valdés, *Jarrón de dos Asas* presents a classical vase form rendered through the artist's signature blend of etching and hand-applied color collage. The handmade paper, tinted beige by Valdés himself prior to printing, lends the work an aged, almost archaeological warmth that echoes his ongoing dialogue with art history. The interplay between the precise etched lines and the spontaneous, tactile qualities of the collage elements reflects Valdés's mastery in bridging the historical and the contemporary.

Medium
Etching with unique color collage, on handmade paper applied with beige tint by the artist before printing, with full margins,
