Antonio Gomez-Palacio

My work uses woodcut and linocut printing, a relief process where images are carved by hand, inked, and printed on paper. Each print is made entirely by hand in my home studio using a small press, allowing for subtle variations that reflect the labor behind the work. I grew up in central Mexico, surrounded by rolling hills and thousand-year-old cultures that shaped how I see the world.

Woodcut prints have long been used there by revolutionary and social movements to convey the lives of marginalized communities, a legacy that informs my practice. I work with woodcuts and linocuts because they are genuine, tactile, and essential. Carving in wood helps me capture what I see when I close my eyes.
