To me, there aren't any differences
between photographic and painted art.
In my artistic work both disciplines can coexist.
Some with mayor presence of photographic technique,
others closer to paintings.
Even though I use further other techniques,
the collection "Giclée" that I am presenting now
is on painted work created as a photographer
and photographic work created as a painter.
I believe that my vision as a painter, who works out concepts, focuses and provides the painted treatment is rather predominant over me as a photographer.
Anyway I don't believe this having a mayor importance.
The fundamental point is the final result,
disregarded the techniques that might have been applied.
What is a "Giclée" Print?
Giclée comes from a french word that means "atomize" and which refers to the way ink is projected on paper. The name Giclée is given to reproductions of art pieces in a limited edition, both photographic or digital. Because of its quality and its procedure it is an alternative to the known techniques like lithography and serigraphy.
Giclée, a limited Edition
A limited edition is a number of copies in a batch reproduction. Usually there will be printed just a rather small series of up to 10 copies. Once reached that number, one can not reproduce or sell more copies of that art piece.
Pigmented Inks
Pigmented inks are literally, very fine milled colored pigments dissolved in liquids. This creates an ink, which is much more resistant to light and that takes more time to fade away. Pigmented inks can maintain stability and resistance to light (stability to UV light) for more than hundred years.
Used Paper
Prints are done on art paper (type aquarelle or engravings)
Papers for special use of aquarelles and pastel with an extreme durability, enhanced for ink-jet prints at high resolution.
