The EMPREINTE Edition
A new way to experience art
The EMPREINTE Edition is part of a desire to offer a contemporary approach to art, through a rigorous selection of media , high-quality printing , and a limited series designed for amateurs as well as collectors.
Before the official online sale of these editions, some background information is necessary: printing techniques, materials used, formats chosen, and concrete examples to discover.
An approach suited to natively digital creations
The works featured in the EMPREINTE Edition are, for the most part, digital in nature . Dematerialized by their very nature, they require specific consideration when it comes to giving them a physical presence . Each medium, each printing method, each finish is chosen to enhance the work without altering it, while respecting the original graphic intent.
This work of transposition – from digital to tangible – is at the heart of the process. It involves creating a dialogue between the modernity of the tools and the materiality of an artistic object .
A variety of media for a customized visual experience
Transposing a digital artwork into the physical world involves much more than a simple print: it's a choice of material, format, and scale. Each medium offered within the EMPREINTE Edition is selected to extend and enrich the original graphic intention , whether it's an intimate piece or a creation to be displayed in space.
From reconstituted wood to brushed aluminum, from deep plexiglass to immersive wall printing, each solution gives rise to a unique presence of the image in reality.
Direct printing onto Plexiglas
This process allows printing on both the front and back of the substrate, creating a unique optical depth effect. The alternation between a sharp foreground and a blurred or colored background provides a striking visual impact, perfectly suited to complex graphic compositions or visually layered environments.
Lamination on MDF wood
Ideal for a matte, understated, and elegant finish , lamination on MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) panels ensures excellent durability. It is particularly suitable for artworks with soft hues or compositions requiring subtle light absorption.
Direct printing on OSB (reconstituted) wood
A raw and expressive material, OSB (Oriented Strand Board) is used here in a thin version, with a wood species chosen for its visual qualities: poplar for its brightness, okoume for its subtle warmth. Its organic and irregular texture gives each piece a tactile dimension, somewhere between artisanal modernity and industrial aesthetics.

Direct printing on Dibond, including in brushed aluminum finish
Dibond, a composite material combining lightness and rigidity , is available in several finishes, including brushed aluminum, which creates a chic and modern metallic effect. This substrate partially reflects light, enhancing the dynamism of certain works with strong contrasts.
Wall Print
Some artworks can also be directly transferred onto wall surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. This immersive solution, conceived as an extension of the architectural space , is custom-developed to suit each location.

A high-definition digital print, faithful to the original artwork
Each reproduction is produced using high-quality digital printing , ensuring accurate reproduction of colors, textures, and contrasts . This requirement preserves the visual intent of the artwork while guaranteeing its durability over time.
The prints are produced in collaboration with a specialist provider , equipped for the fine management of colorimetric profiles, the rendering of deep blacks and the balance of light tones.
Limited edition prints, certified and signed
Each work in the EMPREINTE Edition is produced in limited quantities , ranging from a single piece to several copies, depending on the project . This approach guarantees the rarity and value of each creation.
A certificate of authenticity is systematically affixed to the back of the work , signed by hand, and accompanies each piece in order to guarantee its origin and uniqueness.
Certification, shipping and presentation of the works
The first products in the EMPREINTE Edition are now available for purchase online. Each limited edition print comes with a numbered and signed certificate of authenticity and is handcrafted according to fine art publishing standards. The artworks are shipped in packaging specifically designed for each medium, guaranteeing their protection and integrity.
Some creations can also be seen in person at temporary or permanent exhibitions. For example, several works have been acquired by Maison Suzanne in Strasbourg, where they are displayed in its tea room/restaurant.
