THE SPACE BETWEEN #2 | limited edition of 5 aluminum prints | Photograph

THE SPACE BETWEEN nr. 2 | Las dunas de Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Spain (Dec. 2016) Gran Canaria is a round-shaped island belonging to the archipelago of the Canaries, a Spanish territory off the coast of Morocco in the Atlantic Ocean, renowned as the "islands of the eternal Spring" for their all-year-round mild temperatures. Gran Canaria in particular distinguishes itself from the other islands for the variety of micro-climates it hosts. Differently from the mild and humid climate of the northern side (where the capital Las Palmas is) the southern part - where the beach of Maspalomas is - is mostly very warm and dry. The center is instead mountainous, green and quite cool. The panorama stretching out in front of you in Maspalomas embodies Gran Canaria's multifaceted nature. All around you, enormous dunes of white sand occasionally crossed by scattered individuals wandering aimlessly. Beyond the dunes, towards the south, stretches out the ocean as far as the eye can see. Towards the north, lush mountains stand tall. Above you, a spotless blue sky. In your ears, whistles a soft, warm wind. TECHNICAL DETAILS This photo - just like all my other works on Saatchiart - is printed on brushed aluminum by Whitewall - the German, award-winning photo lab renowned for its superior, gallery-quality, printing process. The horizontally brushed, metallic surface adds a characteristic flair to my images making them look timeless: old-fashioned and modern at the same time. Depending on the light and the viewing angle, the aluminum surface shimmers differently, therefore constantly altering the prints’ appearance in unpredictable ways. This is the reason why I print all of my artistic works on brushed aluminum. Prints on aluminum are thin (0.3cm), sturdy and incredibly light. Being pre-treated with UV light protects them from light damage, dust particles and moisture. As a matter of fact, not only are aluminum prints rust-proof, they are also - differently from most other print materials - suitable for bathrooms and sheltered outdoor areas. My prints -unless otherwise stated- are always fitted, as from the photos, with Whitewall's aluminum rail rectangle (depth 1.5cm) and are therefore ready to hang, vertically or horizontally. The 1.5cm distance from the wall makes up for an eye-catching 'float' effect that beautifully emphasises the print. Every single limited-edition print is numbered and hand-signed by myself. Prints of different sizes are possible, please contact me.
