Terry Fernandez
Intaglio cutter
Vevey

« to print a print is to listen: the work, the matrix, the paper, the ink, the press... to witness, with the artist, a possible birth on paper »

Born in 1986 in Vevey, Terry Fernandez is a graphic designer and intaglio printer. Two people will influence his career: the publisher Fernand-André Parisod and the engraver Raymond Meyer. The first transmits to him the passion for printing and beautiful works and the second, the bases of engraving and intaglio printing as well as the taste for experimentation.

« To ink an engraved plate is to give it the floor, the possibility of expressing itself. To wipe the ink with your palm is to start a dialogue, to get to know each other through gesture »

In 2010, he opened his intaglio workshop. The orientation is given: to pursue traditional techniques and put his skills as a craftsman at the service of artists. Without a concern for "re-production" in series, the print becomes a means of "production". Thanks to the collaboration with artists, the workshop continues its experiments, publishes prints and prints unique pieces.
