Ballerina

"Ballerina" captures the duality of dance: beauty and endurance, grace and resilience. Seated on a stool, dressed in a black ballet leotard, the figure bears the visible marks of effort—a bruised knee, a bandaged foot—symbols of the sacrifice required by ballet.

Yet, this image is not solely about physical pain; it is about the determination that pushes beyond it. Every wound stands as a testament to the commitment and passion that drive a dancer to surpass their own limits. The poised, introspective posture contrasts with the visible signs of strain, emphasizing the mental and emotional strength demanded by this art form.

"Ballerina" is more than a tribute to dance—it invites the viewer to reflect on the unseen struggles behind every flawless movement. It serves as a reminder that behind the effortless elegance of a dancer on stage lies countless hours of discipline, dedication, and sacrifice.

1. Handling

Use Gloves: Always handle the photograph with cotton gloves to avoid leaving grease or moisture marks. A pair of cotton gloves is included inside the package.

Avoid Direct Contact: Do not touch the photograph directly with your hands. Grease and moisture can deteriorate the surface of the print.

2. Storage

Controlled Environment: Store the artwork in a cool, dry place, preferably at a room temperature between 10ºC and 30ºC with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

Individual Protection: If you have purchased more than one photograph, never stack them without protection between each one. Place tissue paper or any other soft paper between them to avoid damage.

3. Display

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Do not expose the artwork to direct sunlight to prevent fading.

UV Protection: If you decide to display the artwork, ensure it is protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

Frame Materials: If framing the artwork, use acid-free materials for the frame and mat. If the frame is made of wood and comes into direct contact with the photograph, it must be natural wood and unvarnished.

4. Adhesives and Mounting

Acid-Free Adhesives: Use acid-free adhesives to avoid yellow marks and deterioration of the support. Any other type of adhesive can cause long-term damage.

5. Additional Instructions

Unrolling from Tube: If the photograph was sent in a tube, do not attempt to roll it back up after unrolling. This can cause permanent damage.

Drawer Storage: If you choose to store the artwork rather than display it, do so in a drawer and protect it with tissue paper or another soft paper to prevent scratches and damage.
