About the Print

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.

The Story Behind the Art

SYMBIOSIS (Tree Avenue, Independence Square)

In Victoria’s Independence Square on Gozo, an avenue of trees and a climbing vine form a living partnership: the vine lifts toward light along the trunks, the trees gain sheltering density in return. Symbiosis honors this quiet exchange—urban nature weaving balance into daily life. See the spot on Google Maps.
