Opened in 1893, the Artillería elevator is the third oldest in Valparaíso. Like many other elevators, it is part of the city's heritage and is currently stopped and awaiting restoration. The community meets every year in a march for the elevators, claiming the importance of not losing this mode of public transport because beyond being tourist attractions, they are also used daily by the residents. "¡Ascensor Artillería ya!" is the slogan.

About our screen prints
Their production begins with the development of the black and white analog photographic film. We create color layers that are added to the photograph and develop them on screen printing matrices. By combining inks and pigments, we create a special color range for each series. Finally, each copy is printed by hand, layer by layer. All the works are numbered, signed, and stamped with its printing date.
