Becoming Vast is an enveloping work, soft and calm - perfect for those who want to bring comfort and calm to their daily life, or to add a little lightness to a more formal space such as an office. A work that combines as much our desire to fly away as to settle down.

Each reproduction of 13x19 and under is carefully printed at my studio on a high quality matte 100% cotton and lightly textured paper. This is a Fine Art type reproduction with archival quality inks and professional printer from a high resolution file. Everything comes together to offer a print as defined as the original, having the beauty of watercolor paintings and the quality of the standards set by museums for their exhibitions. Larger prints are printed in a specialist print studio and then checked by me.

The reproductions are then signed and dated by hand on the back, then my initials are affixed to the front. Afterwards, two coats of an archival quality matte fixative are applied in order to increase the archival qualities of the print.

Finally, when it is dry, the reproduction is then wrapped with all the necessary precautions to arrive at you in perfect condition and bring a little beauty into your daily life.

Learn more about this original work

This original painting was made with acrylic paint on recovered cardboard in the spirit of Arte Povera, to create with what is accessible and to celebrate poor materials. I love working on recycled cardboard. This is where I find the most freedom. I also love the idea of reviving something that was headed towards recovery.

The transformation of this work into a reproduction therefore gives a second wind to the original work by transforming it into a new work now possessing archival qualities. 

This work is part of the Cultivating Calm collection, a series largely inspired by a desire for peace and quiet.

Materials

High quality printing with archival inks on slightly textured matte paper of Fine Art quality 280gsm or higher. I use paper made of 100% cotton fiber or partially agave fiber and considered as an environmentally responsible choice.

Dimensions

Prints are available in various sizes ranging from 4x6 to 30x40. Prints 13x19 and smaller are printed at my studio and the others must be printed by a partner. So there may be an additional delay for larger sizes. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need a size that is not offered. It is sometimes possible for me to create this format at no extra charge. I take care to check each print and then sign them before shipping.

Shipping & Refund

Packaging : I carefully pack your artwork so that it arrives to you in perfect condition. The packaging process favors the recovery of materials, if not the use of the most ecological materials possible. I invite you to be creative and reuse the materials :) Delivery: The original or framed works are sent in a cardboard box with the necessary protections. The original works on paper of larger size will be rolled loosely and sent in a roll designed for this purpose. 

Care

Original art and reproductions: In order to protect original works on paper and reproductions on Fine Art paper from dust and light, it is suggested to place them in a frame with matting or a spacer to keep a space between the glass and the work. In addition, it is recommended to avoid touching the surface of the paper with fingers, but rather advised to take the work with both hands, limiting contact as much as possible. Cotton gloves provided for this purpose can be used. If dust accumulates on the paper, it is possible to very gently pass a soft dry cloth.
