How it works

One example from start to finish: “A Mosque” after Alberto Pasini.

01
Original
We start from a painting, drawing, print or early photograph that a museum has released into the public domain, and we name the museum, the artist and the date.
02
Technique
Tiraj, our own print software, rebuilds the image the way the real process would: carved lines, rocked grounds, ink drums in registration. Every colour and paper is chosen by hand.
03
Your wall
You download five high-resolution files that cover the common frame sizes, from 4×6 in to 24×36 in and A5 to A1, and print at home or at any print shop.
