Captured in the fleeting moments after sunset, this breathtaking image showcases the sky's transformation as vibrant hues fade into a warm, golden glow. It features a composition that captures the luminous backdrop to create a striking contrast against the darkening silhouette of Mount Cristo Rey in Sunland Park, New Mexico. Viewed from El Paso's scenic drive, the composition includes a sliver of the Franklin Mountains in the foreground, adding depth and perspective to a scene that unfolds with quiet grandeur. It's an image where the interplay of shadow and color creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the serene beauty of the Southwest's evening landscape.
Atop the mountain, the iconic cross stands as a timeless symbol of faith and unity, serving as a guiding presence for the communities spanning two countries and three states. The composition not only highlights the region's distinctive geography but also underscores the spiritual and cultural significance of this landmark, which has been a place of pilgrimage and reflection for generations.
More than just a picturesque vista, Cristo Rey Silhouette encapsulates the profound stillness and contemplation that accompanies the close of day. It invites viewers to pause and appreciate the harmony between nature and human devotion, evoking a sense of peace and introspection. In this moment of twilight, as the last remnants of daylight surrender to the deepening night, the scene becomes a testament to the resilience of faith, the beauty of the natural world, and the quiet majesty that defines the landscapes of the American Southwest.
The Print
My Limited Edition prints are meticulously crafted to the highest standards, using a professional printer and professional quality papers and ink. The paper is museum-quality Hahnemühle's FineArt Baryta Satin, recognized for its exceptional detail and resistance to aging. Made of 100% α-cellulose that has been refined with a special inkjet coating for FineArt applications. This subtly textured, smooth base paper contains no optical brighteners and has a silky, smooth surface texture with a beautiful feel and a substantial weight of 300gsm that surpasses the thickness of standard prints. The satin-gloss premium inkjet coating guarantees exceptional print results with intense colors, deep blacks, and outstanding sharpness. It's an acid and lignin-free FineArt paper that meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and produces stunning FineArt reproductions of black and white and color photographs.
To complement Hahnemühle's paper, prints are created on an Epson's SureColor P800, a professional quality printer that uses eight Epson UltraChrome HD archival inks to produce stunning images. Additionally, these archival inks ensure that your Limited Edition Fine Art print will remain fade-resistant for many decades, preserving its brilliance and beauty for future generations.
Authenticity
My dedication to authenticity starts with discreetly embossing my logo on the bottom right corner of the print, ensuring you are provided with a genuine Limited Edition Fine Art Print. Further, each print includes a personalized, signed, and dated certificate of authenticity with essential information such as the title, caption, print size, number in the series, captured date, and location for landscape and nature prints. Also, to further its authenticity, security hologram stickers with matching serial numbers are affixed to both the certificate and the backside of the print.
Shipping
Ensuring your Limited Edition Fine Art Print is pristine and ready to frame when it reaches your hands is a top priority. Appropriately, I follow a meticulous and carefully curated process. First, to ensure each print meets my high standards, prints are created for each order, allowing me to inspect the quality for any defects. Once it passes my stringent quality inspection, I allow it to dry for 48 hours before it is prepared for shipping. Lastly, for the shipping process, I add a protective sheet of archival paper over the print before it is securely rolled and packaged in a sturdy mailing tube (larger prints) or sandwiched securely between two layers of cardboard for mailing envelopes (small prints).
For customers in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, I am pleased to offer complimentary USPS Priority Mail Shipping for all orders exceeding $80.00 and a flat $8.99 rate for all other orders.
Framing
For my customer's convenience, I carefully selected print sizes that readily fit available in-stock frames at your local craft or frame stores. With these standard-size frames, customers will have a wide array of options to choose from, ensuring they can easily find a frame that complements the print perfectly.
Custom framing from local craft and frame stores or online retailers is another option to consider. At Local stores, whether it's for a custom order or one of their in-stock options, their knowledgeable framers can offer advice for selecting the perfect frame. However, online retailers are also a great resource, especially those with the ability to upload a digital image to compare frames with a visual representation of your new Fine Art Print.
Don't forget to checkmark "Yes... Please send me an uploadable sample digital image." before adding your selection to your shopping cart if you are considering frames from an online retailer.
