Chromaluxe Art Photography and Sublimation

Imaginary Planets: A Unique Artistic and Visual Exploration

As a photographer, my works are part of a universe where imagination, nature, and technical innovation intersect. My project and series of Imaginary Planets embody this fusion, a collection of photographs that capture terrestrial landscapes transformed into floating spheres, on the borders of the abstract and the real. Each image in this series is a visual exploration, an invitation to discover the world through a new and surreal perspective.

What makes these works even more special is their presentation in limited and Fine Art editions, with particular attention paid to the quality of the print. To enhance these creations, I chose a finish that highlights both the depth of the colors and the details of the textures: Chromaluxe printing, with or without a frame. This cutting-edge sublimation technology allows me to transform my artistic visions into exceptional visual art objects, creating a unique interaction between the work and its support.

The Art of Sublimation: Chromaluxe at the Service of Fine Art Photography

Chromaluxe is much more than a simple printing option. It is a technology that is revolutionizing the way photography and contemporary art are presented. Chromaluxe sublimation on aluminum is a technique where the image is infused directly into the coating of a metal panel by heat. This process allows for impressive visual results in terms of clarity and brilliance, literally transforming photographs into objects of art.

As a creator of Imaginary Planets, this support allows me to express all the richness and complexity of my works. The vibrant colors and high contrasts, typical of this technique, accentuate the dreamlike character of my floating planets. Whether you choose a framed or unframed finish, Chromaluxe printing brings museum-quality to each print, ensuring durability and resistance to scratches, fading, and even humidity.

Limited Edition Works for a Unique Experience

The limited nature of each creation reinforces the exclusive character of the Imaginary Planets series. I personally ensure that each work is available in a limited number of copies, thus offering collectors and art lovers a unique piece to include in their collection. Each print is numbered and signed, guaranteeing its authenticity and rarity.

My goal as an artist is to offer you an immersive and timeless aesthetic experience. With Chromaluxe finishes available in several sizes, my creations adapt to a variety of environments, whether in a residential setting, an office or an exhibition space. You also have the option to choose between a presentation with an American box that will highlight the work in an elegant frame, or an unframed version for a more minimalist and contemporary style.

Unparalleled Durability: The Advantage of Chromaluxe Aluminum

The choice of Chromaluxe is not insignificant. As a photographer, I am looking for a support that preserves the integrity of my work while offering a unique visual experience. Aluminum is a material that is both light and strong, guaranteeing exceptional durability. Unlike prints on paper or canvas that can degrade over time, prints on Chromaluxe are designed to last for decades without losing their shine.

Another advantage of this support is its resistance to environmental conditions. Whether for an exhibition in a gallery, a public space or a private collection, Chromaluxe prints are resistant to UV rays, splashes and even scratches. This makes it an ideal choice for bright environments or those subject to variable humidity conditions.

The Creative Process: An Encounter Between Art and Technology

Creating an “Imaginary Planet” is not limited to capturing a landscape. Each image is the result of a meticulous artistic and technical process. I begin by photographing natural elements – trees, fields, mountains – in specific lighting conditions that accentuate the beauty of the scene. Then, through post-production and digital manipulation techniques, these landscapes are transformed into floating spheres, autonomous worlds where nature seems suspended in space.

Chromaluxe printing then becomes the natural extension of this process. Thanks to its ability to render minute details and saturated colors, this technique allows me to faithfully transcribe my artistic intention. Whether it is a golden sunset on the beach of Knokke or a field of black and white sunflowers floating in the celestial immensity, each work becomes a complete visual experience.

Framing or Not: The Art of Sublimating the Work

One of the important choices that I offer to my collectors is that of framing. The Chromaluxe finish with an American box brings an elegant and sophisticated touch, framing the work while giving it space to breathe. This type of framing allows me to create a subtle distance between the image and the wall, thus accentuating the impression of floating already present in my "Imaginary Planets."

However, for those who prefer a more contemporary look, the unframed option offers a clean aesthetic that directly highlights the quality of the print and the visual strength of the image. The choice of framing depends on the environment in which the work will be displayed, and I encourage each collector to choose the finish that best suits their space and personal taste.

Collaboration with Professional Labs for Superior Quality

In order to ensure the best print quality for my works, I work in collaboration with two professional laboratories in Belgium, renowned for their expertise in Fine Art printing and their work with photographic artists. These laboratories have perfectly mastered Chromaluxe technology and guarantee results that meet the most demanding expectations.

I partner with these experts for each print, ensuring that each "Imaginary Planet" is printed with the utmost precision and particular attention to detail. Each step, from printing to finishing, is supervised to ensure an impeccable final result, which respects and sublimates my artistic vision.

Conclusion

The "Imaginary Planets" series is much more than a photographic project. It is an artistic adventure that invites reflection and wonder. Thanks to the Chromaluxe finishing printing, each work becomes a unique art object, offering an unparalleled visual experience. With or without framing, each creation is designed to withstand time while embellishing the spaces in which it is exhibited.
