Columbus' Eyes (Château Edition - Limited to 7) Collage

All components of the artwork were taken or created by the author Château Edition (limited to 7 ud) - Total size: 127.0 x 190.5 cm – 50 x 75" - Image size: 115 x 172.5 cm – 45.3 x 67.9" - Margin size: 6 x 8.85 cm – 2.4 x 3.5" Artwork description: The image shows Christopher Columbus under a threatening sky, such as those that he had to look up to, when, in an almost endless journey, in harsh conditions, and quite possibly, filled with doubts he crossed the great Atlantic Ocean for the first time in history. In addition to abandoning his roots for an indefinite period, it blew against him a common idea, since the success of the journey would be the irrefutable proof of a diametrically different conception of space: that Earth was not flat but round. Columbus’ stance in this statue (Jeronimo Suñol and Arturo Mélida, 1885) seems the perfect resting place for a white bellied sea eagle. Sheltered in the footwear of the discoverer, a small bird seeking shelter from the spectacular eagle can also be seen. Who knows if Columbus, along with the knowledge and tools he used on his legendary journey, did not keep a carefully guarded secret, such as the presence of a white-bellied sea eagle who, with an excellent vision and guided by a superior power, indicated the way forward in search of the promised land. Significance of the artwork: This artwork shows how a normal person, after acquiring knowledge, with the adequate tools and with some help from others, can achieve the greatest goals. Define your vision, establish what you need to learn, the steps you need to give and pursue your dreams. About the media: About the brand of the paper, I use Canson because they provide outstanding quality paper. They have been in the market producing paper for artists for over 400 years. About the particular model of paper, I have selected Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag 310 gsm, a 100% cotton Fine Art matte paper. This matte paper, with a smooth texture, provides a pictorial look which suits this artwork perfectly well. However this artwork also looks impressive printed on Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique 310 g, which provides a more photo realistic look, more striking. Contact Saatchi or me by email if you prefer your artwork printed on Baryta.

After returning to his place of origin, he will observe it in a different way, as his references will have changed. Ideally, he will want to keep what he most likes of both parts. This artistic series shows the spontaneous visions of a past period in my life, my stay in Australia for 5 years, mixed with scenes of my current daily life. In most cases these visions include two elements: the Australian natural heritage, the most astonishing part of the country for me, with the (European) cultural heritage, less common in that part of the Hemisphere. The first of the elements, nature, reminds us where we are coming from. The second one, culture, how far we can go. With this series I have wanted to experience how both worlds could interact if they were merged. That is an impossible desire to satisfy, but at least I can now visually enjoy it.
