Because each copper etching print is hand-inked and hand-pressed, subtle variations in tone and texture make every piece a unique work of art.
Created by artist Abel Bartolich, this limited edition copper etching print revives a rare 18th-century technique. Using Blake’s relief-etching method, each piece is acid-etched into copper, inked in relief, and hand-pressed on a traditional roller press. Every print carries a deep tactile impression on 300 gsm cold-pressed cotton paper, using archival black letterpress ink. This artwork is sold unframed.
A glimpse into the creation process — from the first ink drawing to the final hand-pressed copper etching print.
Named Touch for the octopus’s extraordinary sense of feel: eight hypersensitive arms, thousands of suckers, and a distributed nervous system that solves complex tasks with uncanny finesse. Beyond biology, its intelligence and presence deeply “touch” ocean lovers—curiosity meeting gentleness in a creature that feels the world through contact.
This piece of art, created with a rare, almost forgotten printmaking method that makes every edition a collectible. When you hold this artwork in your hands, you feel its quality — the depth of the impression, the soft texture of the 300 gsm cotton paper, and the weight of a technique perfected with care.
Each print is the result of a slow, meticulous process where every detail is considered. The edition is strictly limited to 100 numbered and signed prints, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Perfect for collectors, deep-feeling individuals, and those who value rarity, timeless craft, and meaningful art.
Every piece is handcrafted in our artisan studio, where natural materials and traditional techniques meet thoughtful design. The warm tones of our copper jewellery and brass jewellery, the uniqueness of our Artisan Jewellery — a world-unique, self-developed innovation made from natural cactus fiber — the ocean-shaped beauty of our sea glass jewellery, and the limited copper etchings all tell a story, crafted with care and inspired by nature.
