4. Why choose Vadelma Art Prints?
That’s a great question! Here’s why Vadelma Art Prints stand out:
-
Unique Artwork : Created by Natalie Vadelma, each print is based on her original drawings and concepts, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
-
Excellence in Craft : Natalie spent nearly a year experimenting with various print techniques, papers, and formats to create exceptional-quality prints.
-
Attention to Detail : With a background as a former architect, Natalie brings a meticulous approach to every piece, ensuring high-quality artistry.
5. Why is there only one size of print to choose from?
While many posters come in various sizes, the size of a piece of art is thoughtfully selected for its emotional impact. Here’s why:
-
Artistic Intent : The size of an artwork influences its composition, light, and emotional effect. For example, a small painting creates intimacy, while a large one evokes grandeur.
-
Historical Reference : Many great masters of art, like Vermeer and Van Gogh, chose specific dimensions for their works to enhance the viewer’s experience.
At Vadelma Art Prints, we’ve carefully chosen a single size that we believe offers the best representation of each piece. This intentionality adds unique value to your collection.
6. In what kind of package is the Vadelma Art Print delivered?
To ensure your art print arrives safely, we take great care in our packaging process:
-
Protection: Each print is first wrapped in cellophane for protection against humidity.
-
Reinforcement: It’s then reinforced with thick cardboard to strengthen the back.
-
Heavy-duty Envelope : Finally, the print is placed in a specially designed envelope, ensuring maximum protection during delivery.
We want you to enjoy your Vadelma Art Print in perfect condition!
7. What is the real color of Vadelma Art Print?
While we strive to present our art prints as accurately as possible, there are a few factors that may affect how colors appear:
-
Device Settings : The device you’re using (screen type, brightness, etc.) can affect how the colors look.
-
Lighting : The environment where you display the art print (e.g., in a sunny room versus a dimly lit one) can change its appearance.
This variability is part of the beauty of art! Just like Impressionist painters, each season and lighting condition can evoke different emotions from the same piece. Isn’t that wonderful?
8. What makes Vadelma Art Prints excellent and high quality?
Natalie Vadelma’s commitment to quality ensures that every print exceeds expectations. Here’s what sets Vadelma Art Prints apart:
-
Premium Paper: Printed on Hahnemühle 310 g/m² Paper—one of the oldest and most esteemed fine art paper manufacturers, established in the 16th century. This cotton-based paper is free from optical brighteners, giving it a unique texture and feel.
-
Longevity & Preservation: We use fade-resistant Inks ( we use advanced technology with pigment-based inks that are specifically geared toward high-end printing applications, ) which are UV-resistant and ensure vibrant colors that will last for 75 years or more. To maximize longevity, avoid direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures.
These high-quality materials ensure that your Vadelma Art Print will stand the test of time.
9. Is it original Art?
Yes! All art prints are created and made by Natalie Vadelma—no AI involved. Here’s how her process works:
-
Handcrafted Digitally: Natalie creates each piece using an Apple Pencil, blending traditional techniques with the advantages of digital tools.
-
True Craft : While the medium is digital, the skill and creativity involved are akin to traditional pencil drawing. Each piece is a true reflection of Natalie’s vision. Every piece of art retains its handmade essence, ensuring that each print is as unique as the artist herself.
10. Is it really made in the Netherlands?
We proudly create all of our prints right here in the Netherlands. By working locally, we’re able to ensure the highest quality while also supporting European craftsmanship and reducing the environmental impact associated with overseas manufacturing.
Why is it important that my prints are made in Europe?
-
Quality Control : Printing locally gives us full oversight over every step of the process, ensuring that each print meets the highest standards of quality. We use state-of-the-art equipment and premium materials, so you can trust that your prints will be sharp, vibrant, and long-lasting.
-
Faster Turnaround : By printing locally, we can offer faster processing and shipping times, meaning you’ll receive your prints more quickly than if they were coming from overseas. This also reduces the chances of delays, customs issues, or damages that can sometimes occur with international shipments.
-
Environmental Impact : Producing your prints in the Netherlands helps reduce the carbon footprint that comes from long-distance shipping. By avoiding lengthy international supply chains, we contribute to a more sustainable, eco-friendly production process.
-
Supporting Local Craftsmanship : When you purchase from us, you’re supporting local businesses and craftsmen within Europe, keeping the value within the local economy and promoting creatives!
But isn’t everything made overseas?
While it’s true that many products are manufactured overseas, we believe in the value of European production. In the Netherlands, we still have access to incredible artists, advanced technology, and a long history of high-quality ( not only print ) production. By printing locally, we’re able to offer products that are more personalized, environmentally conscious, and of exceptional quality—all while supporting a more sustainable, European-based production model.
So, when you choose our prints, you’re not only getting something that’s made to the highest standards, you’re also contributing to a more sustainable, ethical, and locally-focused approachto manufacturing.
11. Is the frame included?
Framing is a personal choice, and the perfect frame for your art really depends on your unique style and space. We believe that the framing process should be as individual as the artwork itself—that’s why we don’t include frames with our prints. We want you to have the freedom to choose the frame that best fits your space.
