In *Cabeza llena*, Moisés Yagües explores one of the most recognizable motifs in his work: the head as a space where thoughts and images take on a visible presence. Against the bold black silhouette unfolds a small universe of characters and objects, accentuated by hand-applied details in shades of blue and green. The contrast between the forcefulness of the drypoint and the delicacy of these colored details reinforces the print’s narrative and unique character.

Graphic art occupies an important place in Yagües’s career. He won the First National Prize for Printmaking for Young Artists in 2007 and the Corzón Prize at the National Graphic Art Awards in 2008. His work is represented in institutions such as the National Library of Spain, the Casa de la Moneda Foundation, and the Museum of Contemporary Spanish Printmaking in Marbella.
