Photo gravure with chine colle? - 2 plates of 78 x 58,5 cm. - Printed on Waranbashi of 63 gr. and Somerset Satin, 410 gr. of 112 x 88,5 cm. // Aquarium II, 2 by Cristina Iglesias is a photogravure print from 2011 that combines intricate photographic detail with an evocative, almost surreal landscape. The image depicts what appears to be miniature architectural structures resembling high-rise buildings, set within a natural environment of soil, small plants, and delicate foliage. The juxtaposition of rigid, urban forms with organic, living elements creates a thought-provoking scene that blurs the line between constructed environments and natural ecosystems. Printed on delicate Waranbashi and Somerset Satin paper, this work uses a subtle monochromatic palette, enhancing the sense of depth and texture. Iglesias' photogravure invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between urbanization and nature, capturing an imaginary world where both coexist.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
