Raymundo is an up-and-coming printmaker pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking at Kansas State University. He is expected to graduate in May next year. He received a BA in printmaking from Wichita State University.

In this exhibition, he said, he used layering, folding, cutting and dissection to showcase his experience with materials and craftsmanship.

“The work that Primero presents allowed me to explore the tension and suspense between cultures as I grew up,” he said in an artist statement. “The images in these prints are inspired by my experiences wandering between Mexican and American cultures.”

Raymundo’s fine art prints are relief woodcuts and etchings as well as dry spotting (a technique of cutting an image into a plate with a hard needle made of sharp metal or diamonds.)
