Carlos Serra-Marchal

A Canvas Gicleé is a state of the art reproduction for paintings, also known as “fine art print”, produced on a high quality digital printer. Gicleés are created by the artist, reproduced one at a time, and are virtually impossible to tell apart from the original. Yes, it’s true that while there will only ever be one true, unique original, Gicleé editions still do an astonishing job capturing the magic of that original.

They can be created on rag paper or fine art canvas using stunning inks that are verified to be stable for more than one hundred years or more. Carlos Serra-Marchal works exclusively with Canvas Gicleé reproductions.

ADVANTAGES OF INVESTING IN A LIMITED EDITION CANVAS GICLEÉ

There are numerous advantages for having a Limited Edition Canvas Gicleé. The first advantage is pricing. The price for original artworks of Carlos Serra-Marchal can have a value of few thousand dollars, depending on size and other variables. Original paintings from renowned marine artist established long before, like Wyland or Christian Riese Lassen, can have a price tag as high as $200,000 or more. An original from surrealist painter John Pitre can exceed the million dollars. But a Gicleé reproduction from any of the aforementioned artists is valued at only a minute fraction of the original.

GUARANTEE

Carlos Serra-Marchal personally supervises the reproduction process to guarantee a truthful replica of the original and provides personal touches and highlights with oils to the Canvas Gicleé, making it nearly impossible, even for the trained eye, to differentiate from the original.

Another advantage is that Limited Edition Canvas Gicleés increase value as well, just as the original, especially if the artist have made personal touches on the Canvas Gicleé and signed it. Keep in mind that a Limited Edition means exactly that, it’s limited, so once the edition is sold-out, there will be no more reproductions and only a hand-full of people in the world will ever have that same painting. To increase value and ensure legitimacy, the artist provides a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed and numbered.

FRAMING

Carlos Serra-Marchal provides, at the customer’s request, framing for his artwork, personally selected based upon the painting (size, subject, predominant colors, etc.) to ensure an overall piece in which the frame complements and harmonizes the artwork.
