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

FUNGUS ROCK (Maltese Landscape)

Fungus Rock off Gozo rises like a limestone sentinel, storied with legends and a rare parasitic plant once prized for supposed healing powers. From the west-facing sea view, its sheer walls meet the Mediterranean’s azure in a stark, sculptural contrast—nature’s monolith etched by wind and salt. Explore the location on Google Maps.
