June 2026 — The Measure of Rarity
Studio Letter — June 2026
I am pleased to welcome you to this month’s studio letter.
In this June edition, I would like to speak about limited editions, the author’s signature, and why rarity remains essential to the value of a fine art print.
In the contemporary world, an artwork can begin in many different ways. It may originate as a photograph, a digitally generated image, a drawing, a mixed-media composition, or a reinterpretation of an older visual source. Each path has its own creative logic, but once the work becomes a fine art print, one question becomes especially important: how many times may this work exist?
This is where the limited edition matters.
A print is not valuable simply because it can be produced. In theory, many images could be printed again and again. A photograph can be reprinted. A digital work can be printed in many sizes. A generated image can also be reproduced. Even a drawing or painting may exist again as a print. The decisive point is not only where the image came from, but how the artist defines its life as a printed object.
A limited edition gives the work a boundary.
When a print is signed, numbered, and placed within a clearly defined edition, it becomes more than an image on paper. It becomes a specific object connected to the author, to the edition, and to the moment of creation. The signature is not only a mark of approval; it is a gesture of authorship and responsibility.
Beginning in 2026, I have reduced the edition size of my works from 30 prints to 10 prints.
This limit applies to each work as a whole, across all formats and configurations. Standard sizes, large formats, square prints, and custom sizes all belong to the same total edition. In other words, each work may exist as no more than 10 signed fine art prints in total, regardless of size.
For collectors, this creates a clearer and more valuable structure. A print from an edition of 10 carries a different sense of rarity than a print from a larger edition. It is not simply a decorative object, but part of a small and finite group.
For me, this decision is also about respect for the work itself. Limitation protects an image from endless repetition. It gives each print a stronger presence and allows the edition to remain meaningful over time.
In a world where images circulate endlessly, a signed limited edition restores something important: authorship, rarity, and permanence.
As is my tradition, each month I present a “Gallery of the Month” — a personal selection of works that resonated with me most during this period.
Gallery of the Month: June 2026 — Dominion of Heels
In this series, heels are not treated simply as fashion accessories. They become signs of posture, tension, elegance, authority, and theatrical presence. Red heels, black heels, mirrored heels — each pair changes the visual temperature of the image, shifting the mood between seduction, distance, control, and spectacle.
