The inspiration for this workshop is the project of the artistic duo Irwan Ahmett & Tita Salina that is being exhibited at the 17th Istanbul Biennial, which extends to the northern shores of Indonesia, in between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. We are conjuring up in our minds the creatures living in the oceans that occupy 70 percent of our planet, waters that are dark due to the vastness of their depths. We set out in this workshop to discover the many colorful creatures living in the oceans of our imagination, using flashlights we make out of carton. We use our creativity and our imagination as we think about our environment, the marine ecosystem, how to prevent pollution of the seas and the oceans, and about the non-human creatures that live in these waters.

It can be seen how Goya gradually and constantly investigated all the technical possibilities of creative engraving from etching to lithography.

Portrait of Martín Zapater (1797)

Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
