Over the past few years, I’ve come to an important realization about my artistic practice. While reflecting on how I create, I noticed that my Fine Art Editions have never been reproductions of existing paintings. They have always been conceived as artworks in their own right.
Many artists create prints by reproducing an existing painting or drawing, making the original artwork accessible to a wider audience. I deeply appreciate that tradition, but my own approach is different.
My Fine Art Editions are conceived specifically for print. The artwork is not created first as a painting and then reproduced. Instead, the print itself is the artwork’s first physical manifestation.
Never Ending Summer is another example of this approach.
The artwork began as a pencil sketch in my sketchbook before being digitally developed, refined and colored. The digital artwork is the original. The Fine Art Edition is the first time the artwork exists as a physical object.
This way of working allows me to create without being limited to a single medium. An artwork can continue its journey beyond the screen and take on different forms over time—whether as a Fine Art Edition, a mural, a sculpture, an installation or another medium. Each serves its own purpose while remaining true to the original creative idea.
For my Fine Art Editions, quality is just as important as the artwork itself. I print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 gsm using museum-quality pigment inks because they faithfully reproduce the same brilliance, color saturation and vibrancy I see while creating the artwork on screen. Every print is individually hand signed and blind embossed, transforming it into a collectible object that carries my personal mark and craftsmanship.
Never Ending Summer will be released as a Time-Limited Open Edition, available from 16–23 August 2026. Once the release window closes, this A3 Fine Art Edition will never be produced again.
I believe every artwork deserves the opportunity to live beyond a single format. Fine Art Editions are one of the ways I allow that to happen – creating original artworks specifically for print while producing museum-quality editions that are made to be collected.
