Description

Jalisco, Mexico artist Laura Garcia Rulfo first learned to draw as a child and later perfected her technique under artists Jose Fors and David Birks. Never deviating from her classical training, her style verges on the hyper realistic, and in this early-career etching and aquatint she focuses on every detail of an intimate - if simple - scene.

A woman lies on her stomach on a sofa or couch, but Rulfo has framed only her head, nestled in the crook of her arm, against an embroidered couch cushion. A beam of light falls across the scene from a window we cannot see; it renders the details of the fabric and the woman’s hair and eyes in almost relief form, as if she’s carved from stone. Yet there is still a softness to be found, captured by Rulfo’s careful, steady hand.
