This is how flowers are born
Las flores de Ida is a photographic serie whose main work is the portrait of Ida Vitale, commissioned by the National Library of Spain for the Cervantes Awards Gallery.
The pictorial photographic work is based on a digital photograph taken by Aldabe for the Brecha Weekly newspaper and was printed in the noble platinum palladium technique. The poet photograpy was taked during a presentation at the National Library of Uruguay, is surrounded by plants native to Uruguay.
Palladium platinum is an ancient technique, it is said that its durability is eternal, that it works by direct contact, so the artist placed the negative of Ida's photograph on Fine Art cotton paper painted with palladium platinum and surrounded the image of the poet with plants and flowers native to Uruguay.
Then he took the imprint of each plant that accompanies Ida in her portrait, thus creating a series of delicious photographic jewels, natural size of the plants, which connect directly with the poet and her portrait exhibited in the Italian Room of the National Library of Spain.
