This week Miranda speaks with Jesus De La Rosa. They talk about his early art influences, like seeing the hand-painted film advertisements outside the movie theater next to his mother’s shop, how he almost joined the priesthood, and his incredible dedication to teaching and his students. Jesus is someone that many past guests have mentioned as a friend and influence on their practice, so we are thrilled to share this conversation with you.Cover image photo credit: Joshua DuttweilerJesus on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jesusdelarosavisualartJesus' websitehttps://jesusdelarosavisualart.comYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.comInstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriend✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor, Speedballwww.speedballart.com

En el programa de hoy Reinaldo (@RGZprints) estará conversando con Marcia Salas, artista grafica y pintora costarricense produciendo trabajo en monotipia al trazo a gran formato desde la ciudad capital. Marcia, ganadora del premio nacional de grabado de Costa Rica, ha sido influenciada por la diversidad cultural en el barrio donde creció acostumbrándose a sabores foráneos que combino visualmente con los animales de circo que veía llegar a las aduanas. El trabajo de Salas se caracteriza no solo por su tamaño sino también por buscar alternativas poco convencionales en la exploración de la figura femenina en el contexto donde se desarrollan usando madera reciclada. Marcia es una de las co-fundadoras del colectivo femenino Grana que se ha encargado de difundir el trabajo gráfico a nivel nacional e internacional. Desde Hello Print Friend, querida Marcia, te deseamos un feliz cumpleaños!YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com
