What does FineART printing really mean?
FineART prints in gallery quality.
Visible depth, tangible structure —
The expression of a precise printing process on genuine FineART paper.
When an Image is not only seen, but felt
… then perhaps it is a FineART print.
When I was able to present my works as FineART prints for the first time at an exhibition, it was a quiet breakthrough for me. Printed on heavy uncoated paper, mounted in large-format stillness. No glossy photographic paper, no hurry — but an aura as if from an enchanted world. The print itself became part of the work.
Since then, this type of reproduction has never let go of me.
FineART Printing demands more — and gives more.
It is a process that requires care and dedication and in return gives depth, luminosity and durability.
It begins with the choice of paper: matt or slightly glossy, smooth or textured, made of cotton, bamboo or other natural fibers.
Each of these papers has its own language: a tactile surface that not only supports the image, but accompanies it. Velvety. Fibrous. With depth.
In addition, there are light-resistant pigmented inks that do not simply apply color, but reveal the finest nuances.
Anyone familiar with a simple home printer knows that four cartridges are enough for one picture.
With FineART-Print there are up to twelve — each of which contributes to the depth and luminosity, especially in the fine transitions between light and dark.
This process, often referred to as giclée printing, enables an extraordinary level of detail, depth and longevity.
You can literally feel the space between the objects, the space in which the light lingers. Where there is often only surface in the digital representation, space becomes tangible in the FineART print. Atmospheric. Three-dimensional.
The expressiveness is not created by sharpness, but by the flow of light and structure. As if you were being drawn into the picture.
And then there is the White Edge
Often overlooked, it is in fact a silent protective space and allows the work to be touched without jeopardizing the printed area.
The distance from the frame preserves the dignity of an original that was never a mass product.
At the same time, it leaves room for impact, for what happens between the image and the viewer.
Today I no longer print myself. My works are created in collaboration with a renowned FineART laboratory, which continues this art with the same care.
Each motif is printed on the one paper that does it justice – matched to light, texture, mood and expression.
FineART printing is not a process.
It is an attitude.
Careful. Appreciative. Genuine.
