T. Pimenta (1991) - "L'Emprise" #1 - XL (1/1) UNIQUE

T. Pimenta (1991), Portuguese digital artist, presents "L'Emprise #1", an original and unique digital artwork (1/1), developed with the support of advanced digital tools and produced as a premium Fine Art Giclee on premium 100% cotton canvas. Conceived as an exclusive piece, the artwork is hand-signed on the reverse, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). "L'Emprise #1" Exclusive Fine Art Giclee on Premium Cotton Canvas Artwork Details: Technique: High-quality Fine Art Giclee on premium cotton canvas, 370 g/m2, produced using museum-quality inks for enhanced definition and colour depth. Artwork delivered unframed, rolled in a protective tube. Image Size: 60 x 80 cm. Total Canvas Size: 70 x 90 cm (including 5 cm stretching margins on all sides). Margins: Additional 5 cm canvas margins included to facilitate stretching and framing. "L'Emprise #1" opens on a Parisian balcony where the city disappears. The rooftops, the fog, the tower in the distance become nothing more than backdrop for something happening between two bodies and no one else. One man offers his jaw. The other holds it with a leather glove. There is no violence. There is something older and more complex than that: the choice to surrender. The silent decision to entrust one's face, one's neck, the entire weight of one's own desire to the hands of another. Paris watches from a distance, indifferent as it has always been to the secrets of its balconies. The black leather against pale skin is the centre of everything. Not for the visual contrast, but for what it represents: the difference between who is dressed and who is not, between who holds and who is held, between what is shown and what is kept. The white underwear halfway down is the only unfinished gesture in the composition. Everything else has already been decided. There is tenderness here, if we choose to see it. And there is power, if we prefer that. The work does not choose for us. The artwork explores themes such as desire and surrender, the dynamic between strength and vulnerability, intimacy as an act of trust and the tension between what is exposed and what remains hidden, rendered through a contemporary figurative visual language with diffused light and classical compositional structure. Tiago Pimenta is a Portuguese artist whose commitment to creating visually striking artworks seeks to develop pieces capable of establishing visual presence and emotional connection with viewers and collectors. The creative process begins with an initial conceptual construction, where the central narrative and emotional direction of the composition are defined. Subsequently, the artistic vision is developed through Adobe tools, digital construction processes and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), adding depth, texture, light and structural refinement. His approach combines traditional artistic sensibilities with contemporary digital techniques, allowing the exploration of different visual languages and the continuous expansion of creative possibilities. Advanced digital tools support specific stages of the creative development process, introducing new compositional and detailing possibilities, while artistic direction, aesthetic selection and final refinement remain under human intervention. Each artwork additionally receives a manual finishing intervention through an individual hand-applied artistic varnishing process, designed to reinforce luminosity, visual depth and material presence. Authentication: Signature: Hand-signed by the artist, T. Pimenta, on the reverse. Certificate of Authenticity: Accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity (COA), confirming the authenticity and originality of the artwork. The certificate may be provided to the auction winner in physical or digital format, upon request. Exclusivity: Edition: This is a unique artwork (1/1), conceived as an exclusive piece. Worldwide shipping available. Each artwork is carefully packed in a rigid protective tube with tracking and secure shipping conditions. Special attention is given to packaging to ensure every piece arrives safely and in optimal condition for collectors.
