Online gallery, the illustrations exhibited on www.aoji.fr are available for purchase in limited and numbered editions and in 3 different sizes (Medium, Large, X Large). Artworks are printed on three different materials:
- Canvas: Tightened to a wooden frame, the printing on canvas gives an authentic and traditional render.
- Aluminium: The printing on aluminium is a new process which increases the digital characteristic and technologic of the art piece. The illustrations have an Anti-UV mat varnish finish to protect them from UV and enhance brightness and colors.
- Plexiglas: A plexiglas finish of 3mm is applied over aluminium to create more depth and enhance the brightness of the colors and the sharpness of the outline. The plexiglass finish guaranties an exceptional visual result.
