Authenticity of a work

A work is only in the hands of the rightful owner when it has a certificate of authenticity that is signed by me, Margriet Smulders. Without this sticker, I am the rightful owner of the work. You can be summoned to return the work. 

Presentation and prints  

Since 2021 all works are printed on heavy Fine Art Inkjet Hahnemühle photo rag baryta paper. More info you can find here: https://www.hahnemuehle.com/en/digital-fineart/fineart-media.html.

Printed paper is covered with non reflective TruLife® Acrylic plexiglass, mounted on 4mm Dibond.

TruLife® Acrylic is an innovative single sided, anti-reflective, anti-static abrasion resistant acrylic, developed specifically for direct print and face mount applications.  It captures details with lifelike colors, incredible depth, and clarity for the highest-resolution viewing experience possible. It' has a 99% UV Protection. Till 2008 all my artworks were printed on Cibachrome, the most endurable museum quality material possible those days. To get a more soft sensual image, all works from the series 'Siren Blood' 2010 are printed as ciclé-prints on watercolor paper. These works are presented as prints on white paper, fixed just like that with paperclips on the wall or with white magnets on screws. This was a relaxed way, which I liked. These works are mounted on dibond with wooden frames. Reactions are: "Now they really look like paintings." The colors are reflected by all lights and therefore they are more easy to see in scarcely lighted rooms. It is still possible to order the same works on Photography, fuji crystal archive mounted with plexiglass and dibond at the backside. Whatever suits your situation best. You can be sure you always get the highest museum qualities available concerning color and light stability.
