Introducing our most captivating print yet — the first gilded butterfly edition in four years, and the very first to feature Alessandra's signature red.

This print features hand-gilded butterflies in genuine 23-karat gold leaf, with carefully hand-painted shadows, red shellac ink accents, and sumi ink lining— using the same materials Alessandra uses in her original work.

Printed on the same high-quality watercolor paper she uses for her originals, this print beautifully blurs the line between art print and original artwork. In person, the butterflies shimmer in changing light, with vibrant pops of candy-red shellac ink throughout.

Because of the heavily hand-worked nature of this print, no two are alike. There will be smudges or small imperfections throughout, including small amounts into the white borders.

About Giclee prints:
Giclee is a term for prints being made using archival pigment ink and the highest quality paper. This is in contrast to standard prints utilizing dye-based ink. Dye-based ink prints, while cheap to produce and widely available, will begin to visibly fade within a couple years, and may have marked fading within 20.
Giclee, in contrast, is theorized to last upwards of 200 years (though as of now, the exact amount of time is unknown, due to obvious difficulty with testing such protracted timelines). With proper care and UV protection, giclee prints will keep their rich colors and contrast for an exceptionally long time.

At Alessandra Maria Studio, our team exclusively makes giclee prints, going a step beyond even the standard giclee and utilizing only 100% cotton paper, as well. We want our prints to be an investment for you that can be handed down through generations.
