Also means
to capture
Usage Note
Plasmar means to give concrete form to an abstract idea — to capture, express, or embody something in writing, art, or action (plasmar una idea en papel = to put an idea down on paper). It is more vivid than expresar, implying that an intangible thing has been made tangible. The reflexive plasmarse means to materialize or come to fruition (el acuerdo se plasmó en un contrato).
Examples
"El artista logró plasmar sus emociones en el cuadro."
Natural Translation
The artist managed to capture his emotions in the painting.
