Hybrid Giclée

A giclée print is a fine art printing technique recognized for its museum-quality standards, used by some artists and galleries to reproduce an artwork with great precision. It relies on the use of pigment-based inks, printed using professional printers equipped with a minimum of twelve different color cartridges, on fine art–quality supports — in our case, a high-quality cotton canvas. This process allows the original artwork to be respected in its colors, nuances, and details, and is valued for its long-term fidelity.

At Casa de Rosas, however, giclée is only a starting point. Each print is then intensively reworked by hand by the artist, through applications of paint, inlays, shimmering effects, gold leaf, and other delicate details. These interventions transform each piece into a hybrid artwork, situated between reproduction and recreation.

It is this alliance between the technical rigor of giclée printing and the artistic gesture that gives rise to what the artist Rihab Sebti calls a Hybrid Giclée: a revisited and deeply enriched reproduction that transcends conventional categories and elevates each print to the status of a work of art.
