As Borboletas I (The Butterflies) | Original Wet Cyanotype Print
As Borboletas Series This is an exploration of organic texture and movement captured through the unique Wet Cyanotype process. Each original print in the series is a distinct, one-of-a-kind work, featuring the delicate silhouettes of foliage reimagined as butterflies against a swirling tapestry of blues and greens.
As Borboletas I captures the delicate illusion of flight using the iconic, fan-shaped Ginkgo biloba leaves. The wet Cyanotype process transforms the foliage into a swirling, textured tapestry where the shapes echo the silhouettes and the delicate movement of butterflies.
This piece is the first in the "As Borboletas" series, a meditative exploration of nature's subtle forms and organic blue textures
About the Process
This print is a handmade original Wet Cyanotype, created using a photosensitive process invented in the 19th century.
To create this piece, archival watercolour paper is coated in the light-sensitive solution, and the botanicals are carefully composed directly on the surface. Soapy suds, diluted vinegar, and other solutions are applied before exposure to sunlight. This unpredictable addition of moisture and chemistry creates the stunning, organic textures, mottled greens, and deep tonal variations, ensuring that this truly one-of-a-kind image can never be replicated.
