AFRICA - gallery edition

Limited collector's print with personal pickup at my gallery

Details

Technique: museum-quality giclée on archival Hahnemühle cotton paper, museum-grade pigment inks

Signature: hand-signed and numbered

Type: limited collector's edition

I wanted to create something more than a limited print.

That's why the Gallery Edition was created.

It was important to me that purchasing my work wouldn't just end with clicking the "Buy" button.

I want to invite you to my gallery — a place where I showcase my paintings. I want to tell you their stories, show you the originals, and personally hand over the work that will now belong to you.

If you can't come to Warsaw, I will, of course, safely send the print by courier.

I personally sign and number each print. Each edition is strictly limited and will never be reprinted once it sells out.

As part of the Gallery Edition, you will receive

✓ One of 50 prints in ORBIS format

✓ A personalized Certificate of Authenticity, which I will sign for you with a personal dedication.

✓ The option of personal pickup of the work at my gallery in Warsaw's Żoliborz district or participation in an intimate Collector's Evening.

✓ A souvenir photo, which we will take during the pickup of your print.

✓ Entry into the Kasia Laskowska Art Collector's Register (if you wish).

✓ A signed card from me with the story of the painting.

✓ Priority access to new paintings, limited editions, and premieres before they are publicly displayed.

✓ Free visualization of the print in your interior before purchase.

About the painting

The inspiration for the painting was the story of an engagement during an African safari and my long-standing fascination with the book Out of Africa. It is a story of intimacy, love, and a special kind of freedom that can only be found in contact with wild nature.

The painting depicts a person against a vast, open space. The contrast between the intimacy of human emotions and the power of nature became the main theme of the composition.

The African landscape here symbolizes breath, space, and perspective. In places where the horizon seems endless, everyday matters lose their significance, and one can once again feel their presence and connection with the world.

This painting is about pausing, about being here and now, and about those moments that remain in memory forever. About times when emotions become exceptionally clear, and nature reminds us of what truly matters.

How the print is made

Each print is created using the giclée method, considered the highest standard for art reproduction.

It is printed on archival Hahnemühle 100% Cotton paper using museum-grade pigment inks. This ensures that the depth of colors, details, and character of the original painting are preserved for decades.

I personally sign and number each copy.

Once the entire edition is sold out, it will never be reprinted.

Available formats (print only, unframed)

• ORBIS — 47 X 53.5 cm — limited edition of 50 copies

The proportions of each format correspond to the proportions of the original painting, so the dimensions vary slightly depending on the work.

Prefer to start with a smaller format? This painting is also available in PUNCTUM and CIRCULUS versions in the collector's prints collection. [View smaller format →]

Your copy number

Each print has its own number written as a fraction, e.g., 18/50.

Numbers are assigned in order of purchase.

In the collector's world, earlier numbers are most valued, so the sooner you decide to purchase, the greater the chance of receiving one of the first copies of a given edition.

Copy No. 1 — collector's item

The first copy of the format — the unique 1/50 — opens the edition and will never be repeated.

Unique numbers exist only in the Gallery Edition. They are not present in collector's prints.

Once sold, they will not reappear.

Paper

Each print is printed with a white margin, which facilitates professional framing with a passe-partout and protects the work during framing.

Framing

You can order the print itself or in a professional frame, ready to hang.

Framing includes:

• a thin black wooden frame,
• acrylic glass,
• white passe-partout,
• acid-free materials protecting the work,
• HDF board,
• ready to hang immediately after unpacking.

Authenticity

Each print comes with:

• my handwritten signature,
• individual edition number,
• a personalized Certificate of Authenticity signed by me personally.

See you at the gallery

If you are in Warsaw, I would be delighted to host you at my gallery in Żoliborz.

I will gladly show you my latest original works and tell you about the stories behind them.

If you cannot come, I will carefully pack your print and send it via insured courier.

I hope this work becomes a part of your home and accompanies you for many years.

Thank you for choosing my art.

With all my colors, Kasia
