"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

before it reaches anything near to completion.
this painting is not one of those...
From the beginning, everything went well. I remember being in a state of flow.
Every mark, every gesture felt right, with no doubt.
And every choice of colour and tone needed no second decision.
It was painted after a trip to Queensland, in the tropical far north of Australia.
I was trying to express the feeling of being immersed in the pristine ocean waters of that wild, untouched envoirnment.
The colour and tone gradually deepen,
as the eye of the viewer moves toward the bottom of the painting,
suggesting a sensation of decending into a tropical ultramarine / turquoise ocean.
In the stillness of the depths, vivid flashes of yellow, orange and vermillion streak past,
maybe a life-forn reflecting colour against the darkness...
The paint is applied very quickly here, adding to the speed of their passing.
Fron the center of the painting, there is an amorphous shape,
emerging toward the sunlight above.
It has a gleaming upward thrust,
like an ascension from the depths of the ocean to the warm air above.
This white 'presence' is flanked on both sides by organic shapes...
some kind of mangrove vegitation maybe,
dangling on the surface of the water.
The scale of this piece (170 cms or 5.5 feet)
contributes to the convincing feeling of immersion in a tropical ocean.
It is stretched on the finest cotton duck tripple primed canvas imported from Belgium,
I use oil paint made by Old Holland, and Matisse Acrylic Paint (which is the best on the market).
