SWALLOWS

Swallows - Limited Edition Silk Screen Print

This limited edition serigraphy adds a unique twist to traditional printmaking by incorporating a special glowing effect. Using light-emitting pigment, the work glows blue in the dark, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The glow gradually accumulates throughout the day, illuminating the artwork once the lights are off and offering a mesmerizing visual transformation. Beyond its aesthetic allure, the piece also serves a functional role, providing both beauty and a soft, ambient glow, making it a dynamic and captivating focal point in any space.

Important Note:
The glow pigment requires a daily dose of light to release its glow at night. If the artwork does not glow upon arrival, it means it hasn't had a chance to charge during transport. If you're eager to see it glow, shine a flashlight on the white part of the print for 30 seconds, then turn off the light — enjoy!

Framing: Unframed. I recommend framing it in a minimalist frame with a wide passe-partout.

Signature: Hand-signed by the artist with the edition number.

How Does It Glow?
The glowing effect is achieved through the use of a special light-emitting pigment embedded in the print. When exposed to light, the pigment absorbs energy and slowly releases it in the form of a gentle glow once the room goes dark. The intensity of the glow depends on the amount of light the artwork receives, making it a dynamic and ever-changing part of your home.

Best Display Location
This print is perfect for any room where you can enjoy the transition from light to dark. A bedroom, living room, or hallway with natural or ambient lighting will allow the piece to absorb light throughout the day and create a mesmerizing effect at night. Display it near a light source for the best glowing effect
