Guanajuato, Gto., May 15, 2018.- The engravings of a professor and three students of the degree in Visual Arts of the University of Guanajuato (UG) were selected to participate in the Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennial, organized by Tama University in Japan.

They are individual works, with diverse topics, where Angélica Escárcega Rodríguez, Diego Ramón Hernández Martínez, Eva Lorena Rosas Bernal and Ricardo Andrés Aranda Muñoz Ledo address ecological, social and introspective topics.

On the matter, they explained that the works they made there is nothing that relates them as collective, which has more merit to have selected four works of members of UG's community for the international exposition.

The 6th Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennial, organized by Tama's Art University, has the purpose to show the latest contemporary impressions of the world and compile academic data about materials, techniques and expressions of the engraving.

The sole fact of being exhibited there is something valuable, but there is also the possibility to obtain an economic prize, explained Diego Ramón Hernández Martínez, who participates with the work "Refugio de los incautos", that alludes to the interior castle that Saint Theresa refers in her texts.

On the matter, the professor Angélica Escárcega Rodríguez, who will present "Las frágiles alas de la ciencia se agitan, ¿sobreivirán la guerra de los tiempos?", about the danger of extinction of bees, she highlighted the importance of the Mini-Print Triennial, and the honor it represents that her work and her students' of the Division of Architecture, Art and Design had been selected.

"Being selected weighs greatly in my development as an emergent artist, it is an honor because Japan is one of the pioneer countries in graphics"; sustained Eva Lorena Rosas Bernal, who will exhibit "The link that is within us; we're the essence", where we explore it can exist between parallel realities and human beings.

Ricardo Andrés Aranda Muñoz Ledo, considered that as emergent artists it is very important that her work can be appreciated not only for who will attend to the Mini-Print Triennial, but be seen in internet as well, because "visibility is what most need, we're at the start of our career".

Ricardo Aranda participates with "Levantaron torres para poder ver", an engraving that tells how we live in the urban space, and how this is a container of memories and experiences. "I focus on the structures, of all we construct as society and it is part of our social panorama", he explained.

For the sixth edition of the Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennial, which will be held from October 27 to December 2, there was an international summon, and artists were selected from around 90 countries.
