Elena Paraskeva - Papillon (GERMAN ETCHING) - XL

"Papillon", som er det franske ordet for sommerfugl, ble tatt opp i studioet mitt, og sommerfuglene, som ble importert fra Thailand for behovet i fotograferingen, ble plassert én og én på modellens kropp, en svært delikat prosess siden de er ekstremt sprø.
Gicleé Limited Edition på arkivboard, HAHNEMÜHLE TYSK ETCHING, som har en tykk, fløyelsaktig tekstur med utrolig kontrast og detaljer, og gir bildet et svært malerisk uttrykk. Trykt med Epson SureColor P9570 (12-fargers UltraChrome Pro12 pigmentblekk!! Fåfaded-sikkerhet i over 100 år).

Trykkdimensjoner er 60 cm x 76 cm og bilde-dimensjoner er 56 cm x 70 cm
Signert/nummerert/med autentisitetssertifikat
