Giclee Fine Art Printing Process

The giclee process is an evolution of the European craft of printmaking. Each print is produced one at a time and requires more than one hour of extensive handwork to produce a perfect piece. A giclee is very difficult to distinguish from an original work of art. Communication and direction from the artist insures that the final print is a true reproduction of the artistís intent. One of the reasons for the superior print quality is that the giclee process produces an astounding assortment of more than 6 million dynamic highly saturated ink colors. The ink is sprayed onto specially selected archival paper. Giclee prints are now widely shown and distributed from galleries and art studios to the walls of the Louvre. All of the paintings displayed in the Gallery were originally created in oils or pastels and can be currently purchased as a giclee print.
