This handmade cyanotype monotype presents a serene, atmospheric landscape composed of softly layered mountain forms rendered in nuanced shades of blue. Through the cyanotype process, each tonal shift emerges organically, creating a sense of depth, distance, and quiet movement across the composition. The gradation from pale, mist-like blues to deeper indigo evokes the experience of looking across receding mountain ranges at dawn or dusk.
As a monotype, this work is entirely unique—there is no edition and no possibility of replication. Subtle variations in texture and tone reflect the hand-pulled nature of the process, emphasizing the artist’s direct engagement with light, chemistry, and paper. The overall effect is contemplative and minimal, balancing abstraction with a clear reference to the natural world.

WHAT IS A CYANOTYPE?
The cyanotype (a.k.a. sun-print) process is one of the oldest in the history of photography, dating back to the 1840's.
Cyanotypes were then made famous by Anna Atkins, considered the first female photographer. Inspired by nature, we feel the need to look back at a craft that is handmade, analogue, and using an all-natural light source: the sun.
Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative to get the best image quality. Finally, the print is washed and fixed with water to stop the reaction and prevent fading.
What you get is an amazing, royal blue image, with absolutely no ink involved. And since each print is handmade, tones will give gorgeous, subtle variations. The beauty of cyanotypes is that each print is absolutely unique.
