"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

In more recent times we're not supposed to think about things in these , so to translate that for the materialistically limited, let me say there are three dimensions, but, OH, NO! there's a fourth one that gives the other three meaning.
Of course, that assumes that there is any such thing as "meaning" and since it can neither be reliably observed nor independently reproduced, it cannot be known that there is such a thing or effect or process.
And yet, there it is, around us and before us in everything we experience, everything we think or think about and maybe in everything we don't think about or should think about more, but don't think about enough.
Emmanuel Kant was one of the first to describe the fifth element in modern . Having reduced awareness to "the self", the ongoing process of responding to phenomena he realized that this understanding was not complete without the unknown and never experienceable "noumena".
Long before that Moses spoke with a bush that burned and yet was not consumed. Asking, "What are you?" The flaming bush answered, "I am that I am."
Millennia later, Schrodinger imagined a cat in a sealed box with poison and questioned whether the cat was still alive. From this he developed "uncertainty" and "potentiality" and so described the indescribable again.
Everyone trained in science that understands that training knows it is an approach to "knowing" that there is little if anything that we can know. Philosophers call this the "apriori" (though that's used as an adjective rather than a noun). '1' is apriori to '2' and to all other numbers in whatever system of counting ... but what is '1'?
'1' is the "noumena," the "I am that I am", the answer to whether the cat is alive, the "ergo" in Descartes', "cogito ergo sum."

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination.
As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience.
He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it.
Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them.
Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is. It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
