This collage from the Labores del Hogar series combines monoprint and appliqué techniques. The base is a print created using a Gelli Plate and acrylic paints. Rich red and orange hues create a dense, textured background. Graphic elements are layered on top: cutouts from old magazines featuring text and patterns, as well as fragments of gold leaf. The composition's dynamics are built on the contrast between the strict geometry of black stripes and soft, painterly brushstrokes. The final touches are applied with a palette knife and a brush, uniting the scattered details into a cohesive visual object. The Labores del Hogar series is made on pages from a mid-20th century Spanish housekeeping magazine — La Perfecta Ama de Casa. The magazine pages become both material and context: domestic advice from the 1960s, overprinted with abstract gesture and colour. The original text remains visible beneath the layers — a record of another era, absorbed into something new.
