Gabor Helyes - River Island

THE PRINT
The artist's signature (Gabor) with the year (2026) is located in the lower left corner of the image, within the image.
The size of the image with the goldish paper frame (part of the composition) is 34 x 59 cm..
Landscape format. Limited edition regardless of size: 2/12.
The printing paper is one of the highest contrast papers currently available, the Metallic Gloss 255 g/m2 type from the Prague-based company Fomei. It is an amazing resin-coated, micro-porous photo paper with high metallic-glossy finish. This Japanese-origin, highly reflective, glossy RC paper containing metallic micro-particles almost glows in the right light, giving the print a stunning 3D effect. As it is resistant to UV light and much less sensitive to fingerprints than silk matt papers, the print is also suitable for mounting on a hard backing (e.g. aluminum DiBond plate) without protective glass.
The print comes with a unique Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist himself, which can be affixed to the final back of the print.
Both the print and the Certificate are stamped with the artist's unique embossed dry stamp.
Printing and packaging of the image for safe transport is carried out by the Budapest-based specialist company Pigmenta Fine Art under the supervision of the artist. Printing is done on professional Canon Pro 2000, 4000, and 6000 printers using giclée archival quality, extremely durable ink.
In general, prints are shipped internationally in sturdy paper tubes with acid-free protective packaging. Upon request and for an additional fee, prints can also be shipped in sturdy, flat packaging.
The print will be shipped to the Buyer's address by FedEx.
We will hand over the print to FedEx for international delivery within 5 working days of receiving payment for the purchase and delivery. We do not frame the image.

THE ARTIST
Gabor Helyes (1963) is a Hungarian, Budapest-based fine art photographer and architect who seamlessly blends engineering precision with a powerful, evocative vision. His photographic work centers on ultra-high-resolution urban panoramas and conceptual architectural photography, characterized by the striking presence of rivers, water bodies, and dramatic atmospheric phenomena that lend a profound emotional resonance and monumentality to each piece.
As an architect, he has earned widespread recognition for his masterfully designed, artwork-level luxury villas, which heavily reflect the organic ethos and spirit of the legendary American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.
His artistic lens is uniquely shaped by a distinguished career as a leading architect. He served as the Hungarian team leader on a mega-project for a Danube island in Budapest, collaborating directly with architectural legend Moshe Safdie (designer of the iconic Marina Bay Sands). Driven by a fascination with structural grace, he also designed a new Budapest bridge for an elite, invitational international competition, competing alongside Zaha Hadid Architects and UN Studio.
This rare fusion—the visionary force of an architect combined with structural expertise and photographic sensitivity—allows him to reveal the inner tension, balance, and aesthetic essence of the built world. His limited-edition prints offer collectors a highly sophisticated, multi-layered perspective on the urban landscape.
This active, structural creative approach seamlessly translates into his photographic work. The same mastery of spatial composition and the sophisticated manipulation of complex lighting systems can be directly observed in his unique photography style—characterized by bold, high-contrast imagery and an intensely vibrant color palette.
The characteristic 3D shapes of his photos always capture space, thus drawing the viewer into the world of the image. Gábor (the artist's first name) has exhibited his work at numerous major exhibitions in Hungary (Múcsarnok, Museum of Applied Arts). Besides Budapest, the Eternal City, Rome, is the environment that inspires him most in his work.
