This is an original print, not a reproduction.
All limited edition etching/intaglio is produced individually
on my own hand press.
Each pressing produces a slightly different image,
so all the prints are in effect originals.

Intaglio process: Involves the use of a thin metal plate into which the design is incised in a number of ways, like Dry Point, Berceau (Mezzotint) etc. The inked plate with the uncut areas wiped clean, is placed in a roller press operated under considerable pressure to force the paper into the incisions to take up the ink. It is this pressure that leaves the plate mark on the paper.

Etching (Radierung, Gravure): is a variety of Intaglio printmaking in which the lines in a metal plate are bitten (etched = eaten) by acid. The polished surface of a plate is first covered with a thin layer of ground, composed of waxes, gums and resins. The etcher draws through the ground with a metal point (the 'etching needle'), which exposes the metal. The plate is then immersed in a bath of acid, which bites into the plate through the exposed lines. The depth of the line, and thus its darkness when printed, is determined by the length of time the plate remains in the bath and the strength of the acid solution.

Aquatint: is a variation of etching, using a painter’s brush with acid to create intermediate tones.

I have been a professional artist since 1973,
based in my São Paulo - Brazil studio.
My etchings, acrylic paintings and ceramics are mainly of a single subject,
trying to capture the mood with subtle technique.
I exhibit my work in galleries and exhibitions throughout the South America.

SFA means Small Format Art, that is, art smaller than 14" in any one direction.
Instead of one large painting on the wall, you can mix and match SFA for a nice eclectic collection of sizes and styles.
Search eBay for SFA and see more Small Format Art to liven up your walls.

I try to make the best possible reproduction images for showing on the internet but if you feel the etching is not what you expected and wish to return it, you may do so within 7 days. The etching should be returned in the same packaging in which it was sent. The buyer is responsible for return postage. Upon receipt of the etching, the buyer will be credited the full amount of the etching price. The goal is for you to be happy with your purchase and I would love to have you as a repeat buyer.
