Guardians of the Lake - Yamalyk plateau. To this day it is a sacred place. Over the millennia, the wind and nature have given the stones bizarre shapes. Local residents have a special attitude to time, to the manifestations of nature and to the feeling of themselves in this world. People and stones exist in a common time space. - Azat Minnekaev
FRAMING & SIZE DETAILS
All our paper and canvas prints are made using the giclee process, a technology for fine art reproduction using high resolution images, archival paper or canvas, pigment rather than dye-based inks, and a high-quality inkjet printer. With proper care, giclee prints can last 100-200 years without significant fading. Your artwork is printed and framed to order. Please allow 7-10 business days for delivery.
Unframed Print
Giclee print made using archival inks on Entrada Rag Natural, a luxurious, thick, 100% cotton, smooth fine art paper. This archival paper is acid and lignin-free to guarantee that prints last a lifetime without fading. Unframed prints include a 1” white border around the image to allow for future matting and framing if desired.
