"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.

Martha Chapa, Mexican painter, writer and sculptor, has produced more than 250 individual exhibitions and more than 1,800 collective exhibitions worldwide. Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Chapa has produced several well-known works of art, including The Red Grotto, Apple Soap, Delivery, Promise of Horizon and Amorosa Esperanza. Her work is known for its central theme: apples.
Martha Chapa, born in 1946, is considered an artist of international importance, particularly in the world of Mexican art. But she came from humble beginnings in Monterrey, Nuevo León. Even as a child, Chapa showed an early interest in cooking and painting.
Her mother discouraged both of these pursuits. She’d lament that fussing in the kitchen would create a mess, and claimed that female painters never got married. But Chapa proved her mother wrong when she got married at the young age of 15.
Chapa studied fine art at the prestigious National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Mexico City. Iconic and influential Latin American artists, including Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, studied here. Chapa herself was trained by Juan Eugenio Mingorance, Luis Sahagún Cortés, Jorge Vázquez Quiñones and Carlos Navarro.
In 2017, Chapa celebrated 50 years in the art world with the exhibition Trazos de corazón: 70 years of life and 50 years of painting paradises. That same year, she was honored and received recognition granted by Salvador Vega y León.
