  • (HR) Što je akvarelirana serigrafija/grafika/svilotisak?
    • Svaka serigrafija (svilotisak, sitotisak ili kolokvijalno “grafika”) otisnuta je crno-bijelo (u većini slučajeva samo crtež; u nekim slučajevima mogu biti otisnute i određene boje), a zatim ju je autor ručno oslikavao akvarelom. Takvo djelo je jedinstveno jer je boja nanošena rukom. Umjetnička djela mogu biti slična – isti motiv sa sličnim bojama – ali ne mogu biti potpuno ista jer su oslikana kistom i rukom.
    • Ovo nisu serigrafije otisnute u punoj boji, koje su sve identične i numerirane.

  • (EN) What is watercoloured serigraphy/graphic?
    • Each serigraphy (silkscreen or screen print) was printed in black and white (drawing only in most cases; in some cases, certain colours may be printed as well) and then manually watercolored by the author. Such work is thus unique because it was coloured by hand. Artworks may be similar (same art with similar colours) but they simply can’t be exactly the same because they were coloured by brush and by hand.
    • These are not serigraphies printed in full colour (all are the same) and numbered.

  • (HR) Što je akvarelirani bakropis?
    • Svaki bakropis otisnut je crno-bijelo (samo crtež) s bakrene ploče, a zatim ga je autor ručno oslikavao akvarelom. Time je svako djelo jedinstveno jer je boja nanošena ručno. Djela mogu biti slična – isti crtež sa sličnim bojama – ali ne mogu biti identična jer su oslikana kistom i rukom.
    • Ova tehnika razlikuje se od ostalih grafika po rubu koji se može vidjeti i osjetiti.

  • (EN) What is watercoloured etching?
    • Each etching was printed in black and white (drawing only) from a copper plate and then manually watercolored by the author. It is thus unique because it was coloured by hand. Artworks may be similar – same drawing with similar colours – but they simply can’t be identical because they were coloured by brush and by hand.
    • This technique distinguishes it from other prints by having an edge you can see and feel.

Q: What is photolithography?

A: Each photolithography was printed in colour and numbered.

Q: What is “E. d’A” or “Autorski primjerak” instead of numbering?

A: E.d’A or Épreuve d’artiste, is the French word version for artist proof. Usually, an artist receives or keeps 10-15% of an edition for his own use. These impressions are called artist’s proofs (AP, A.P., épreuve d’artiste) and are in addition to the numbered edition.
