Prints (Giclées)

The above title does say “Prints” but we don’t really sell prints at all. Instead what we sell are Giclées!

So what are Giclées?
(pronounced /ʒiːˈkleɪ/ “zhee-clay” or /dʒiːˈkleɪ, from French [ʒiˈkle]) is a way of describing the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word “giclée” is derived from the French language word “le gicleur” meaning “nozzle”, or more specifically “gicler” meaning “to squirt, spurt, or spray. It has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.

Why would you choose Giclées?
Because they’re so remarkably good, they almost seem like the original. Alvaro is very fussy about the final reproduction. And Giclées are like prints, but a lot better. They are done in premium watercolour paper, with permanent pigments). And they are so good, it is hard to tell them apart from the originals.
