Spreading Mountains - I imagined a time when the earth was flat, stone people were alive, and there were several suns in the sky. It is an archaic story filled with symbols. You can paint such a picture endlessly and never finish - all the time something new, deep will appear. - 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.
