"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.

In 'TAKING A BREAK', a serene moment of familial bonding is captured beneath the shimmering surface of a swimming pool. The predominant aqua tones, gracefully blended with soothing white and accented by subtle black, create an ethereal underwater world that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquility of this unique aquatic scene.
The composition revolves a child and a woman, their legs hanging gracefully in the clear, rippling water. The subtle play of light and shadow on the tiles adds depth and mimics the dance of sunlight filtering through the water's surface.
The woman and child sit side by side, their limbs submerged in the weightless embrace of the pool. The water gently distorts their forms, giving the scene an almost dreamlike quality.
The overall atmosphere is one of calm and unity, as the aqua colors evoke a sense of peaceful fluidity. The viewer is transported into a world where time seems to stand still, allowing a contemplative appreciation of the simple yet profound beauty in the bond between parent and child.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces.
db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
