“At the Source of Black” – an exhibition of prints by Sara Carrillo

We invite you to the opening of Sara Carrillo’s exhibition *At the Source of Black* on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. The exhibition explores the autonomy of the creative process within the realm of traditional printmaking. Through her works, the artist balances between classic printmaking on paper and three-dimensional objects, thereby deconstructing the traditional paradigm of intaglio printing. She redefines the meaning of the matrix, treating it as a primal record of gesture, time, and chemical transformation. The theme of the exhibition is an exploration of the creative possibilities of the intaglio matrix. Using the noble etching techniques—etching and aquatint—the artist analyzes the three-dimensionality of surfaces treated with acid, taking the phenomenology of black as her starting point. The exhibition is an invitation to reflect on the significance of the print medium itself. Sara Carrillo was born in Mexico. She has been professionally affiliated with the Academy of Art in Szczecin since 2014. In 2024, she earned her Ph.D. in art with a dissertation titled “Modeling the Matrix of Non-Matter.” She has participated in over 50 exhibitions in Poland and abroad.
