Cartomagie II by Svetà MARLIER - Digigraphy
€650.00Price
Digigraphy is the new quality standard that replaces lithography with an entirely digital process.
Svetà Marlier sees her work as an artistic duel with artificial intelligence. She calls it oil-vs-AI – oil painting versus AI! While some fear that AI will supplant artists, she disagrees: no machine can match human sensitivity, the legacy of art history and the virtuosity of the pictorial gesture.

The Digigraphy process Digitisation
- The original work (oil painting or watercolour) is scanned in very high definition in a specialised laboratory.
- Contactless scanning tables are used.
- The work is carried out by professionals in the presence of the artist.
- A digital file is obtained for further processing.
Colour correction or "Chromie"
- The artist reworks the digital file using editing software.
- White balance, colour balance, light and contrast levels are adjusted.
- The aim is to achieve the best possible colour match with the original.
Test phases
- The file is sent to a certified Digigraphy laboratory.
- Test strips are printed on the chosen medium (often a specially primed canvas).
- The artist checks the print by comparing it directly with the original work.
- Several adjustments and tests are usually necessary.
Artist proofs
- Three artist's proofs (EA1, EA2, EA3) are printed as special editions.
- These tests allow for final adjustments to be made.
- They are either kept by the artist or sold as "special editions".
The final impression
- The first prints are produced by the laboratory.
- Each print is signed and numbered by hand by the artist.
- A certificate of authenticity accompanies each reproduction.
- The print has two signatures: that of the original work (printed) and that of the print (handwritten).
