As a printmaker specializing in etching, Alba Páramo is able to achieve sinuous and precise lines that lure us deeper into the details of her works. Her skills as a printmaker became a natural segue and foray into screen printing. Páramo's interest in fashion and textiles inspired her to transform artworks into clothing. She has has released numerous limited edition drops of her imagery, which include clothing printed by hand.

The technique used for this etching is called “Sugar Lift,” which is a way of creating painterly marks on an etching plate using a sugar solution and a paint brush. The areas you paint are a positive mark. It is a form of aquatint etching.

The etching printing technique consists of a drawing made on a copper plate which is then inked and hand-printed on a larger sheet of paper. Each print is an original and each one of them will be unique from the other since they are all hand-printed. Edition, title and artist signature are handwritten by the artist under the printed image.

Gato Callado in Spanish means “Quiet cat”. After printing this sugar lift, Páramo realized that she forgot to paint the cat’s mouth, so he will forever remain a silent cat.
