English to Spanish: Works of M. C. Escher General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - English Escher's first print of an impossible reality was Still Life and Street, 1937. His artistic expression was created from images in his mind, rather than directly from observations and travels to other countries. Well known examples of his work also include Drawing Hands, a work in which two hands are shown, each drawing the other; Sky and Water, in which light plays on shadow to morph the water background behind fish figures into bird figures on a sky background; and Ascending and Descending, in which lines of people ascend and descend stairs in an infinite loop, on a construction which is impossible to build and possible to draw only by taking advantage of quirks of perception and perspective.
He worked primarily in the media of lithographs and woodcuts, though the few mezzotints he made are considered to be masterpieces of the technique. In his graphic art, he portrayed mathematical relationships among shapes, figures and space. Additionally, he explored interlocking figures using black and white to enhance different dimensions.
Translation - Spanish La primera impresión de M. C. Escher de una realidad imposible fue "Still Life and Street" en 1937. Su expresión artística era creada a partir de imágenes mentales, en lugar de venir directamente de observaciones y viajes a otros países. Algunos de los ejemplos más conocidos de sus obras incluyen "Drawing Hands", una obra en la cual figuran dos manos, dibujándose una a la otra; "Sky and Water", en la cual la luz juega con las sombras para transformar el agua detrás de los peces en aves con un cielo de fondo; y "Ascending and Descending", donde filas de personas ascienden y descienden escaleras en un circuito infinito, en una construcción que es imposible de crear, y sólo posible de dibujar aprovechando las características de la percepción y la perspectiva.
Trabajó principalmente con la litografía y el grabado en madera, aunque los grabados al negro que hizo son considerados obras maestras de la técnica. En su arte gráfica, retrató relaciones matemáticas entre las formas, figuras y el espacio. Además, exploró el entrelazado de figuras usando blanco y negro para contrastar distintas dimensiones.

Having studied translation at the National University of La Plata, my goal is to broaden my understanding of language and the world. I crave learning and travelling as much as I can. I still have so much to learn and so many points of view to consider. I started with some independent translation projects but I'm now searching for something more reliable. I'm interested in enterprises that help raise people's quality of life. My dream is to be recognized as an influential thinker who aids others in understanding themselves, the world and in achieving their personal goals.
