En las Eternidades is a handmade codex created with authentic amate paper, honoring a material that has carried stories, knowledge, and artistic expression across generations. Bound in an open envelope structure, the book unfolds into a continuous surface that encourages movement rather than linear reading—inviting each mark, word, and image to become part of an evolving whole.
The richly textured amate paper reveals its natural fibers and organic variations, making every codex entirely unique. No two sheets are alike, and every fold preserves the character of a material shaped by hand.
Designed for artists, writers, poets, and collectors, this codex offers a space for drawing, writing, collage, visual research, travel journals, and personal archives. It is equally at home on a studio table, in a sketching bag, or displayed as an artist's object.
Every book is carefully assembled by hand in the Calle Soledad Presa studio in small batches. Rather than concealing the irregularities of handmade materials, each codex embraces them as part of its history—celebrating texture, process, and the quiet beauty of imperfection.
Cover 8 × 6½ inches; interior 6 × 6 inches. Each binding is singular, unrepeated. A object for the long view—meant to be kept, touched, returned to. For writers, artists, and those who believe the notebook itself matters.

Please Note
Because each codex is made from authentic handmade amate paper, natural variations in color, texture, fibers, and edges are expected and celebrated. These characteristics are not imperfections but evidence of the paper's handmade origin, ensuring every book is truly one of a kind.
En las Eternidades is more than a notebook—it is a contemporary artist's book that invites you to unfold ideas, memories, and creative journeys one panel at a time.
