"A woman with half-closed eyes, enveloped in green vapors and floral volutes – absinthe sublimated into a masterpiece. The poster that made the entire Belle Époque dream."

Context of the work

Absinthe, nicknamed the green fairy, was the emblematic drink of artists and poets of the Belle Époque – Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Verlaine, Baudelaire were great connoisseurs.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
