Unique piece.
A beautiful cyanotype to decorate your life, or to be gifted as a nature poetry.

Double exposure using a composition of natural leaves over the sensitized paper. I brushed the emulsion with different strokes giving a unique look to this print, almost relating to the sea. Printed by hand under the UV rays of the sun. A real cyanotype analog photogram. Signed with pencil at the back.

- print dimension: 56x76 cm (22x30 inches).
- process: classic cyanotype formula from 1842.
- paper: Arches Platine, 100% cotton, museum grade, with no alkaline reserve, 145g/mq.
- framing: unframed.
- shipping: inside a rigid and safe cardboard tube. Certified mail with tracking number.

Cyanotype is a very unique process where the photographic emulsion is prepared with two different iron salts. The emulsion is UV sensitive (like with many other alternative photographic processes) so the exposure is made with the help of the sun. Developing a cyanotype is very eco-friendly because you need only water, no chemical developer or fixer is used in the process.

I am an artisan photographer, living in Lanzarote, making prints in cyanotype. The blue sky and the ocean have been the reason for me to change to the wonderful prussian blue of cyanotype. The power of hundreds volcanoes and the nature of Lanzarote always inspire me.

I post the item from the Canary Islands which are part of Spain but not part of the Community territory for the purposes of VAT. Etsy will charges you the VAT of your EU Country while you pay. In very rare occasions, for a bureaucratic problem, your postal service may ask you to pay VAT and some other taxes again. Please, pay it to get your purchase since those undue taxes will be reimbursed to you.
