Artwork description:

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

It is a completely manual process and is revealed with sunlight.
Important:Each copy is unique, texture and color may vary.
Each photograph is taken on 300 gr paper. Fabriano

The image shows a stylised portrait of a classical male bust, inspired by ancient Greek or Roman sculptures. Overlaying the surface of the bust are intricate, almost faded motifs that add depth and a sense of history. The colour palette is predominantly blue-grey, with subtle variations in tone that mimic the nuances of light and shadow on the stone. The composition focuses on the form and facial features of the bust, emphasising the subject's contemplative expression and the play of light and shadow. Floral and scriptural elements are superimposed on the bust, creating a juxtaposition of antiquity and modern or historical imagery.
