16" x 16" image on a 20" x 20" sheet · archival pigment on 340gsm cotton rag · edition of 25
A signed print of the original painting Nuqta (The Dot).
Nuqta started as a one-of-one painting, built by hand in plaster and acrylic on canvas. In Arabic calligraphy the nuqta, or dot, is the unit every letter is measured against. It became my way of articulating a new dawn, a beautiful starting point and a reminder that all journeys start at "point A".
This edition brings the composition and color of that painting onto paper.
What a giclée is
A giclée is sprayed onto heavy cotton rag one sheet at a time, not pressed onto coated paper in a run of thousands. The ink settles into the paper, so the texture stays visible and the color has depth. The inks are archival pigment, not dye. Dye fades. Pigment holds.
These took two rounds of proofing before I approved them.
Framed images are for reference only. Frame is not included.
This is an archival pigment print of an original painting by Maya Fakhrriddine, produced in a limited, numbered edition.
- Printed on Epson Cold Press Bright, a 340 gsm 100% cotton rag paper with a soft texture
- Archival pigment inks on acid-free cotton rag. Pigment inks resist fading in a way dye inks do not
- Signed and numbered by hand in pencil on the lower border
- Includes a Certificate of Authenticity
- Ships unframed. Image area and sheet size are listed above
Colors may vary slightly from screen to print.
Nuqta. My own artist proof is in a 20x20 solid walnut frame with a cream mat and an 18x18 opening. About an inch of paper shows, so the signature stays visible. A float mount also works.
Noon. Float mount it in a 34x28 frame, which leaves 2 inches of board around the sheet. Or use a 30x24 frame with a 26x20 mat opening. A bare 30x24 frame with no mat reads like a poster.
Stock ready-made mats cover the signature, so ask for a custom opening. Not sure how to frame yours? Message me.
