Elena Paraskeva - Burning - XL

Dear Collector,
As an artist, I firmly believe in the value of vision, dedication, hours of hard work, in-camera artistry and mastery of light—not images generated in seconds by a machine.

"Burning" was created entirely in camera. The model was submerged in red dye liquid, surrounded by paper boats that were partially burning. It is printed on Museum Quality Hahnemuhle Photo. Rag (This paper unlike photo papers has over 100 years fade-resistance guarantee) . The artwork is printed in a very small limited run of this size.

The print dimensions are 50X75cm and the art dimensions are 47X71cm.
