Saint Arbore

When I arrived in the Arbore village, this history didn’t need to be told; it was felt. Standing among the people, a particular woman drew my attention. There was a quiet strength about her, a presence that spoke louder than words. Wrapped in a dark mantle, she seemed to belong to something larger than herself, a protector of not just her village but of the traditions and stories that define her people. She didn’t need to say a word for her significance to be understood.

Her necklaces, laden with beads and shells, aren’t merely decorative. In this ‘Land of Bulls’—where ‘Ar’ means bull and ‘Bore’ means land—each piece of adornment tells a part of her story. It speaks to her role within the tribe, her connection to the land, and the deep sense of identity shared among her people.

If you select the museum canvas, your artwork will come with a 1.5″-2″ mirrored edge, suitable for stretching over 1.5″-2″ stretcher bars. Canvas pieces bear the signature and edition number at the bottom right of the image, unless instructed otherwise. All pieces from the Limited Edition Collection are unframed and delivered in a protective tube along with a Certificate of Authenticity. Upon request, we can offer guidance on framing your new artwork to ensure both aesthetic appeal and lasting quality. Please note that the edition numbers represent the total in the edition, regardless of the size. There is no separate edition count for different sizes; each piece has a single unique edition number.

Edition size: 5 – 36X54 (plus 2 Artist Proofs), 10 – 32X48, 15 – 30X45 and 20 – 24X36.

Open Edition prints are produced on high-quality photographic paper, set within a 4-ply, white, acid-free matte. The front of the matte and the print are both initialed. All Open Edition Matted Prints are designed to fit standard frames seamlessly.
