DÍAS DE ARTE “Días de arte” (Days of art), written by the Spanish artist Rosa Maroto, is a book where she shows a general vision about the world of art both in personal and in a professional way through 52 chapters of her own life since she joined The University of Fine Arts of Madrid until now. When we talk about Días de arte, we talk about different things at the same time. Technically , this is an artist book, but at the same time, it has got something else, or even it has things that artists books don’t have. Through its pages, we are able to know the artist’s evolution, but we know how the artist way of being is at the same time. Besides this, the book’s style is inspired by how Rosa is, giving it some artistic personality and following an 8
asymmetric, dynamic and freedom line. These elements are very characteristic in the artist’s work. That is why, as Rosa’s work, every single page is different. All of this makes us realize images are merged with what the book is telling us. Words and pictures go hand in hand.

EXPERIMENTAL BOOK My experimental book is a personal project for knowing the paper behaviour depending on its composition. I used an ink jet printer and offset ink. The result was a long and contrasted composition in red and black where I decontextualize people from their surroundings using pictures of some of my classic favorites photographers like Man Ray, Cartier Bresson, Eliot Erwitt, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindber or Richard Avedon.
