LIFE IS NOT A RACE 1/2 GARAVATO
$165.00
A Dual-Perspective Manifesto on Time and Balance
Created exclusively for the US market by acclaimed artist Tavo Garavato, “Life Is Not a Race / La Vida No Es Una Carrera” is an ingenious, reversible ambigram print that reimagines the ancient fable of the tortoise and the hare. Designed to be read and displayed from either direction, the artwork weaves English and Spanish together into a unified visual meditation on patience, pace, and presence. A masterclass in split-fountain (arcoíris) printing, a vivid color blend shifts smoothly from vibrant lime and deep turquoise into violet and neon magenta, illuminating the dual figures with kinetic, radiant energy.

ETIQUETA:
Measuring 50 x 70 cm (1/2 format), this poster is a handcrafted linocut engraving meticulously carved and prepared by the master printers at La Linterna. It is printed on fine 100% cotton watercolor (acuarela) paper, a premium archival substrate chosen for its substantial weight, soft deckle aesthetic, and luxurious texture. This acid-free fine art paper drinks in the relief inks with extraordinary richness, showcasing the luminous gradient transition and razor-sharp linework at museum-grade standard.
Brought to life on our historic 1870 Marinoni and 1890 Reliance presses, each print is a tangible artifact of Latin American letterpress heritage. Because the rainbow inking and manual press pull are done entirely by hand in our Cali workshop, every single piece possesses its own distinct color gradient and ink density. These natural variations ensure that your poster is a one-of-a-kind collector’s item bridging traditional Colombian craftsmanship with modern graphic philosophy.
This limited edition is hand-signed by Garavato and individually numbered, certifying its authenticity and provenance.
