Etymology

The term 'serigraphy' comes from the Latin word 'sericum', meaning silk, and the Greek word 'grapho', meaning to write or draw. This reflects its origins in traditional silk screen printing techniques. While silk screens were initially used in ancient China, the modern version of serigraphy was developed in the early 20th century. Artists began to experiment with the technique, leading to its popularity within the fine arts movement. The process became especially prominent in the 1960s, when pop artists like Andy Warhol adopted serigraphy as a means to mass-produce artwork, blurring the lines between fine art and commercialism. Since then, serigraphy has evolved and found applications in various fields, including fashion, textiles, and graphic design, making it a versatile printing method recognized for its ability to produce vibrant colors and intricate designs.
