Excerpt: 

The engraving is not a drawing transferred onto wood, metal or stone; it is conceived in consideration of the material which is used to make it, its nature, resources and potentialities; this is the essential starting point for achieving a style. Because it is on the matrix and not on the paper that the artist puts his creative stamp, which will be revealed in the finished print
