SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Juan Manuel de la Rosa (1945–2021), a Mexican artist from Sierra Hermosa in Zacatecas, gave paper a role extending beyond that of a simple support. A painter, printmaker and ceramicist, he made his own sheets from fibres such as linen, cotton and hemp. His training took him to Monterrey and La Esmeralda in Mexico City, followed by periods of study in Europe. He also deepened his knowledge of handmade paper techniques in Egypt, the United States and Japan. This attention to material accompanied an international career in exhibiting and teaching. Travesías, presented at the Museo de Arte Abstracto Manuel Felguérez in Zacatecas in 2007, and La superficie es el papel, shown in Mexico City in 2008, mark this investigation of image and surface.
This profile brings together identity references for Juan Manuel De la Rosa and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
