Álvaro Medina is an artist and printmaker originally from Huajuapan de León, in the Mixteca region of Oaxaca, deeply connected to the graphic tradition that has given the state its visual identity. From a young age, he found in printmaking a territory for exploration and memory. Influenced by the symbolic power of Oaxacan graphic art and its deep-rooted community connection, he began his printmaking studies at the workshop of the Juan Alcázar Regional Museum in Huajuapan, where he understood that more than a technique, printmaking was a language for narrating stories, resistance, and silences. His work arises from this dialogue between cultural heritage and personal exploration. He works primarily with linocut and woodcut, exploring wood and linoleum as living surfaces: each cut is precise, each grain speaks to his intention. He uses intense inks and defined contrasts, combining traditional processes with contemporary sensibility in compositions that oscillate between the figurative and the symbolic, where texture and depth take center stage. His work has been featured in local exhibitions and cultural circuits. She has organized projects and exhibitions, and participated in group exhibitions in various Mexican states (Yucatán, Zacatecas, Puebla, Querétaro, Guanajuato, Chiapas, Morelia, and Mexico City) and abroad in Madrid and Barcelona (Spain), Chicago (United States), Santiago, Chile, and Osaka (Japan). Throughout her career, she has collaborated with printmaking workshops and collectives in Oaxaca. She currently resides in Oaxaca City and collaborates with the Gabinete Gráfico woodcut workshop and the Colmillo Ediciones printmaking workshop.
