This is a fine art print from an illustration made by artist Verónica Silva, using colouring pencils. It's part of the collection called “A few of our Favourites”, born from the simple belief that when we do something we love, the day is better and we are happier. This collection is collaborative, since every piece (except for the first) is made from favourites shared with the artist via Instagram.
"Often times we forget what we love amidst everyday's rush. We get home wanting to do something for ourselves but postpone that in order to look after another, to do the laundry, to scroll endlessly, you name it. Can you relate?
So this collection is meant to be full of reminders of what we love. This one in particular is about noticing life and its beauty, and was made from some of my personal favourites."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Giclée?
"A true giclée print refers to an archival print made from an inkjet printer equipped with a highly permanent set of inks in a wide range of colors. Artists, galleries, and collectors seek out giclée prints because of their unmatched standard of digital reproduction, and archival longevity." - from Brooklyn Editions
My giclées are made in a printshop specialized in this work. They use 12 colours to print it, so the end result is closer to the original work. They combine mineral pigment-based paints with archival quality paper for longevity.
Aging estimates – based on laboratory tests – point to a resistance to fading and colour change of more than 200 years under ideal conditions (storage in the dark at 22.7ºC and 50% RH), and up to 86 years when exposed under glass.
Where are these made?
All made with love in Portugal.
How is it shipped?
Both prints and originals on paper are shipped inside a PLA (more eco-friendly) or OPP envelope* to protect them from humidity. They're also wrapped, and then cardboard is added for support/to avoid bending. Then it is shipped in a cardboard envelope.
*It's not ideal, but necessary, and I'm always on the lookout for more sustainable alternatives.
