Alfonso Castañeda García began his studies in Arts for Plastic Expression at the University of Guadalajara, but it was in the workshop where he discovered his true path as a printmaker. He joined Ediciones Ajolote, where, under the guidance of Teresa Valdéz, he trained in the craft of graphic production, specializing in artistic screen printing. Since 2015, he has directed Estudio Taller Amapola, his own graphic production studio, focused exclusively on screen printing as a medium for creation and collaboration. His work has involved producing graphic art for artists working in diverse languages, from illustration and traditional printmaking to conceptual projects. He has participated in numerous collective painting exhibitions, including his ion for the Bienal Atanasio Monroy in 2016. Nevertheless, his practice primarily centers on technical production and training within the field of graphic arts.
He currently teaches at the Escuela de Artes Jalisco, leading the Stamping and Experimental Printmaking workshop, where he shares with his students a practical and hands-on vision of graphic work, emphasizing screen printing as both an expressive and technical tool.
