Museum Standards

A “state-of-the-art” camera refers to a camera that incorporates the latest and most advanced technology available in the field. These cameras typically offer superior image quality, high-resolution sensors, advanced autofocus systems, fast processing speeds, and professional features like high dynamic range (HDR), 4K or higher video recording, and sophisticated image stabilization. They are designed for professional photographers who demand top-tier performance, precision, and versatility in their work. “State-of-the-art” implies that the camera is at the forefront of innovation in the industry.

I use Canon mirrorless cameras with several ultra-clear lenses that shoot in 45MP large raw format, allowing me to print from intimate to monumental sizes without losing image quality. The edition step is as important as the capture. I employ precise post-production techniques, including Photoshop, Lightroom and cutting-edge software. I continuously seek new modalities and visual vocabulary in my work.

What are archival materials?

I am extremely demanding and strict about using only archival material supports when I produce my art. Why? Because archival materials refer to high-quality, durable materials designed to resist deterioration and aging over time. I use these materials to create or preserve my works with the intention of maintaining their original condition for extended periods. Examples include acid-free paper, museum-grade non-reflective acrylic or glass with 99% UV protection, and archival inks. These materials ensure that my art remains free from fading, yellowing, or degradation, making them suitable for museum collections and long-term display. I use frequently the Hahnemühle and Epson archival papers.

What is the difference between an open edition, a limited edition, and a one-of-a-kind piece?

An open edition allows an artist to print their work indefinitely, meaning everyone can have access to the same artwork and the art piece has much less value. A limited edition restricts the number of prints to a specific quantity, allowing only a select group of collectors to own the piece. A one-of-a-kind piece means that your piece is unique, only one person will have access to the artwork.
I work with limited editions of 10 in two different sizes, ranging from small to monumental as well as with one-of-a-kind pieces.

Regular & Museum Acrylic or Glass

The main difference between regular acrylic/glass and museum acrylic/glass lies in quality, protection, and visual clarity. Regular acrylic/glass is a budget-friendly option that offers basic transparency but often comes with noticeable glare, minimal UV protection, and a slight greenish tint in the case of glass. In contrast, museum acrylic/glass is a premium material designed to enhance and preserve artwork. It features an anti-reflective coating for near-invisible clarity, up to 99% UV protection to prevent fading, and superior durability, making it lighter, shatter-resistant, and ideal for high-value pieces. Museum-grade materials provide a professional, long-lasting presentation that safeguards your artwork and ensures it looks its best in any setting. For this reason, I highly recommend my clients use museum glass or acrylic to preserve their art pieces for several decades.
