Carborundum mezzotint is a printmaking technique in which the image is created by adding light passages to a dark field. It is a relatively new process invented in the US during the 1930s by Hubert Mesibov, Michael J. Gallagher, and Dox Thrash, an artist working in Philadelphia with the WPA. The carborundum mezzotint uses the grits to create pits below the surface of the metal that then hold ink, like traditional mezzotint.

Antonio Segui, born in January 11, 1934 and deceased in February 26, 2022 was an Argentinian cartoonist, painter, engraver, book illustrator and sculptor who lives and works in Paris. Seguí's work is collected and exhibited worldwide in art institutions such as MoMA, Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art & Centre Georges Pompidou.
