Printmaker

Esther Consuegra is a first-generation student at Florida Atlantic University pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts whose practice centers on printmaking to build narratives on the tension and conflict inherent in the natural world. Her current body of work is shifting to explore themes of primordial forces, death, and the anxieties of the unknown.  

Through contemporary printmaking practices, I attempt to construct narratives that explore cycles of destruction and power through divine forces. Heavily inspired by mythologies and religion, my work aims to create a reflection on the shared human connection we find in the face of immense power and uncertainty. The body of work I am currently working on for my thesis exhibition centralizes in large scale relief reduction, emphasizing distinct narratives and emotions through an exploration of color in multiples. Working at a larger scale leaves room for intricate detailing to be layered per color section, adding unique depth to each piece.
