The original "Diferente" artwork features a fineliner-drawn geometric pattern and a watercolor-painted butterfly, digitally collaged and enhanced, then printed on fabric. The fabric is adhered to wood and embellished with structure paste, finished with layers of spray paint and a mix of pigmented paste and resin, all sealed under a clear resin coat.
"Diferente" serves as a compelling visual metaphor, highlighting the strength that arises when one deviates from societal norms. The butterfly, adorned with vivid colors that set it apart from its peers, symbolizes the beauty and importance of celebrating our uniqueness. Through her resin mixed media painting, the artist skilfully conveys this poignant message to her audience, inviting them to appreciate the value of diversity.
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.
