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

SILKEN MIRAGE (Flamingo)

Only a few migrants pause in Malta each year; sometimes a weaker flamingo lingers through the season, mirrored in the shallow lagoons where rainwater meets sea. In that hush, their steps ripple like silk. Silken Mirage captures the rarity and stillness of this fleeting vision.
