Senior Silva uses the technique of Intaglio. This is done by engraving a copper plate with acid, this plate is then used to stamp the initial engraving into the paper. Each plate can be used for about 100 etchings before it is worn and is discarded.

Senior Silva became bored with plain etchings and felt that they needed more life. So he turned to the Mixed-technique (combining two forms of art). In this case after he makes an etching, he goes back and hand paints each one with a water color and oils. He was the first artist to mix etching, water-color and oil all into one painting.

Painter, sculptor, engraver, writer and Yoga teacher, Guillermo Silva was born on June 7^th, 1921, in Bogota, Colombia. Died on June 29th 2007
