Taken in 2020, London

Created on pure cotton handmade paper, this work is sculpted through layers of archival emulsions and textures applied by hand, forming a tactile surface where image and material merge. Pigment-based inks and hand-applied finishes make each piece one of a kind. Produced in two distinct sizes, each edition is limited and individually crafted, with no two works identical. Developed over more than two years, this technique allows the work to be displayed without glass, as it is varnished for both physical and UV protection.

Urban Files explores the hidden layers of London’s built environment through fragmented architecture, shifting reflections and traces of movement. Rather than presenting the city as a fixed landscape, the work compresses multiple moments into a single image, where glass, concrete and steel dissolve into one another. Familiar structures become ambiguous, inviting the viewer to navigate between recognition and abstraction.

Framed in deep matte black using Lion moulding, the larger version measures 62 × 52 cm, while the smaller version measures 39.5 × 47.5 cm. Both are designed to be displayed without glass, with varnished surfaces that protect and enhance their layered depth. Each work is supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity and an embossed signature mark.

Editions and sizes:

62 × 52 cm — edition of 6 handcrafted originals, each unique
39.5 × 47.5 cm — edition of 9 handcrafted originals, each unique

Frame: Deep matte black, no glass
