Aventurine

Holy Ice, Limited Edition Fine Art Giclee Prints

Mineral stones have always been used in various cultures for their benefits to our physical and psychological well-being. The original crystal skulls were said to be made out of crystal quartz or rock crystal. I have chosen to call the paintings after the various kinds of quartz crystal only as a means of identifying each one. I have tried to approximately match the stones to the paintings however they are not meant to be representative of their names.

Aventurine comes in orange, brown, yellow, blue and grey, but the most common colour is green, the majority of which comes from India. The name derives from the Italian “a ventura” meaning “by chance”, alluding to the lucky discovery of aventurine glass during the 18th Century.


Holy Ice prints are the finest quality giclee reproductions of my original paintings printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 305gsm paper. The inks used are of Museum archival quality however the prints should not be displayed in direct sunlight.

Each Limited Edition print will be signed, numbered and dated and will come with a Certificate showing the title, paper type, date and Edition size. The Certificate will bear a unique red ink stamp for that particular Edition which will be destroyed when that Edition is completed.

The First Edition of Holy Ice will be limited to 50 (per size) and prints are produced to order.

The prints come in two sizes, 65cm square and 40cm square. There is a 5cm white border all around each print.
