Overview
“The stamps is the basis of a whole world of results, to apply them on different surfaces or get other textures, it is necessary that we know other specific materials, not essential, but that will be an aid when it comes to better understand the possibilities that gives us a small (or large) piece of rubber.

A course by Pablo Salvaje
From a very young age, Pablo Salvaje was always in contact with the world of printing and the noise of huge machines that printed at breakneck speed in his family's old printing press. In addition, his mother was a postwoman and while on vacation he helped her by postmarking the letters to be delivered. It seemed that all the stars aligned to bring him closer to this world of ink and pressure.
He is a lover of nature, who explores on his travels, collecting logs, leaves, animal remains, stones, and seeds—pieces that bring him closer to nature and his lifestyle. He could not entirely explain this passion and respect for the land. It is more of a union, a care, a gratitude that is born out of a need to preserve our origins, and not lose what we have.
He considers himself a creative person, easy to communicate with. He studied acting and worked as an actor for a large part of his life, but never left the plastic arts aside, which led him to discover relief engraving and the possibility of turning his illustrations into stamps and stamping any imaginable surface. Many of his stamps are inspired by natural objects, since the textures, reliefs, and shapes found in nature help him investigate different lines in the rubber that leave a lot to experiment with when it comes to inking and stamping. Doing things by hand, makes him aware of the immense artistic power inside every one of us. "We all have talent, it's just that some work at it more than others," a phrase by Chaplin that he repeats to himself every morning.
Workshops are an escape route, to share everything he knows in addition to learning a technique with patience and love. The most beautiful thing about a workshop is to laugh, enjoy, share your ideas with others, and play—to be a child again. All these sensations are reflected at the end of a workshop in the faces of satisfaction and illusion on seeing the final result. It makes it clear we can all create and grow together.
