PRINTMAKING

Rare is the humility shown by an artist who would regard himself as unworthy of painting, and would therefore seek a medium such as printmaking, unfairly regarded by the public as merely artisanal. Printmaking was the initial path taken by Olazo who considered the craft as the “backdoor” through which he would eventually take up the challenge of painting.
​
In printmaking, Olazo felt bestirred by a sense of confidence, as of someone operating from a position of strength. Regarding himself primarily as a technician, Olazo never slackened from work that required a rigorous step-by-step process. Indeed, he relished the activities involved with wood blocks, metal plates, and slabs of stone. Whether incising the surface, drawing directly on stone with crayon, brush or pen, submerging metal plates into a bath of acid, laying the dampened paper onto the matrix, and finally pulling proofs of the plate, stone or wood, Olazo mined the expressive opportunities of the graphic arts.
