In a world oversaturated with mass-produced images and digital reproductions, No Prints, Just Paint is a reclamation of form and intention. This series transforms front-loading print display binders – once tools for showcasing art – into the artwork itself. I saw in them a quiet potential, a structure waiting to be reimagined.
By painting the exterior with acrylic paints and placing original works on sketch paper inside, I’ve turned these utilitarian objects into one-of-a-kind pieces that blur the line between container and content. Each binder becomes a canvas, each page a portal into a moment of creation. The result is a tactile, layered experience – art that invites touch, reflection, and connection.
This series is for those who seek authenticity, who value the presence of the artist’s hand and the uniqueness of a piece that exists only once. I do not produce prints or reproductions of these works. They are singular, made with care and intention, and offered as a reminder that originality should be accessible – not reserved.
No Prints, Just Paint is my way of saying: art is not just what we see – it’s how we choose to see. They are one-of-a-kind, created with the belief that everyone deserves to own something made with care.
