The Carousel resin mixed media piece masterfully merges the precision of a finely drawn carousel, meticulously cut into nine symmetrical elements, with the flowing and unrestricted nature of a white and dark pink/red resin background. This artwork symbolizes the harmonious coexistence of opposites, demonstrating how symmetry and precision can beautifully complement the organic and freeform aspects of the resin pour. The juxtaposition of these contrasting elements serves as a powerful reminder that balance and unity can be achieved through the integration of diverse qualities, rather than their rejection. The intricate fineliner drawing set against the vibrant, fluid backdrop invites viewers to reflect on the inherent harmony that can arise from embracing different perspectives and forms.
About the printing process:
Giclée Inkjet printing, a method where ink is meticulously sprayed onto paper in a fine dot pattern known as a half-tone, endows prints with a distinct fine art feel through its use of textured papers. This technique is celebrated for its ability to produce prints with deeply saturated colors, thanks to the vibrant pigments forming the inks. It offers a wide selection in paper thickness and texture, catering to various artistic preferences. The brilliance of Giclée prints lies in their vivid and saturated hues, setting them apart in the realm of art reproduction. Artists and illustrators favor Giclée prints for their precision in replicating the original artwork's medium. Furthermore, the archival quality of Giclée prints is remarkable, enduring approximately 40 years in daylight and up to 200 years in optimal dark storage conditions, preserving the legacy of the artwork for future generations.
