Gallery Standard Giclée: How Surrealium Art Prints Are Made

Introduction to Giclée Printing Method

In the world of fine art, the search for a medium that goes beyond the limitations of time and accurately brings an artist's vision to life has led to the development of Giclée printing. This technique is unmatched in art reproduction for its ability to capture every detail with precision. Surrealium, always striving to provide the most premium art possible, has adopted this advanced process to ensure every print meets the highest quality standards.

How it Works

Giclée utilizes a specialized process that sprays millions of microscopic droplets of ink onto archival quality paper. This method allows for an astonishing degree of precision and depth, capturing every subtlety of the original artwork with an accuracy that is truly breathtaking.

Each droplet, a tiny emissary of color, is meticulously placed, building up layers of hue and tone that culminate in an image of stunning clarity and vibrancy. This precision ensures that the nuances of the original—be it the subtle gradation of a renaissance painting or the intricate detail of a brushstroke—are preserved and celebrated in every print.

Sustainable and Hand-Picked: Archival Paper

At the heart of the Giclée printing process is the material used, and Surrealium's commitment to excellence is reflected in our choice of Hahnemühle Photorag paper. This paper is valued for its matte finish, subtly textured surface, and outstanding color reproduction, all of which contribute to a print that closely resembles a hand-painted artwork.

The archival nature of the paper and inks ensures that each print not only captures the essence of the artwork at the moment of creation but also preserves it against the ravages of time. With an archival life extending to 80 years, these prints are not just art; they are legacies, encapsulated in the fiber of the paper and the vibrancy of the ink.
