Peek in studio of Javier Chalini.
Artist Javier Chalini lives and works in San Francisco, California.
Most of my printmaking work is done as metal etching prints. This is the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface, creating an effect of “hills and valleys” in the metal. This effect is known as Intaglio and it is where the ink goes beneath the original surface of the metal plate.
Creating images is an exploration of profound understanding of what I have lived or learned but haven’t made fully conscious. Through the creative process I build my visual narrative walking between past and present, gathering memories, collectiveconcepts, and daily events. This helps me to pass beyondsimplistic forms and concepts to find or create symbols, images, metaphors, and myths that can embody an action or relationship.
