With this piece, I chose to break that pattern.

This high-end paper is used in print studios and galleries worldwide for art reproductions and exhibitions. Weighing 270 grams per square meter, the paper feels firm yet smooth. The paper combines 25% cotton and 75% alpha-cellulose, a refined plant fiber. This blend creates a natural texture without gloss or reflection. It contributes to a subtle refined appearance that suits artworks where soft tones and depth are important. Compared to standard fine art papers, White Velvet has higher whiteness, making colors appear brighter and contrasts sharper. It is acid- and lignin-free, ensuring that prints will remain vibrant and intact when properly cared for. The paper works perfectly with pigment inks, producing prints that capture the original artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll prints are shipped unframed and carefully rolled to ensure they arrive safely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that shipping may take 2–3 weeks, as some prints are made to order to ensure the highest quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anne van der Stoop","offers":[{"title":"80x60","offer_id":56771795845451,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x40","offer_id":56771795878219,"sku":null,"price":104.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/4843\/3483\/files\/Artprintupsidedown.jpg?v=1773237304","url":"https:\/\/annevanderstoop.com\/products\/upside-down","provider":"Anne van der Stoop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
