In Baltic Sea, Ziggy Kańczukowski captures a solitary boulder off the coast of Rügen, Germany, utilizing a long exposure technique to transform the restless energy of the waves into a silent, ethereal mist. This technical choice creates a compelling visual ambiguity that challenges the viewer’s perception of scale. Isolated from the shoreline and surrounded by the smooth, white expanse of the water, the dark, wet stone ceases to be a mere coastal fragment. Instead, it rises like a monumental mountain peak piercing through a layer of high-altitude clouds. By blurring the line between ocean and sky, solid and fluid, the artist turns a seascape into a surreal, dreamlike landscape suspended in time.
This collector’s piece is available as a strictly limited edition of 8 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Originating from a high-resolution digital photograph, it is produced as an archival pigment print on Hahnemühle German Etching paper. The heavyweight 310 gsm substrate is essential for this composition; its velvety texture enhances the softness of the "misty" water while providing the necessary depth and sharpness to the rugged texture of the stone. Each print is hand-signed and numbered on the verso, accompanied by a hologram-secured Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).
For the ultimate presentation, the optional WhiteWall frame with Museum Glass offers virtually invisible glazing with 99% UV protection. This ensures the artwork remains pristine, protecting the delicate tonal transitions from fading and allowing the viewer to experience the ethereal atmosphere without distracting reflections for generations.
