Garðar BA 64

June 2024 – Northwest Fjords, Iceland

The Garðar BA 64, Iceland’s oldest whaling ship, stands frozen in time like a silent monument to the country’s maritime history. Beached on a remote shore since 1981, this steel colossus, corroded by time, rises with melancholic majesty against a dramatic backdrop.
Every detail — the rusted patina of the hull, the ship’s angular lines, and the shadows cast by natural light — tells a story. A story of distant voyages, raging oceans, and a bygone way of life, where humans and nature coexisted in a constant struggle for survival.
The atmosphere of the photograph is filled with nostalgia and poetry. The contrast between the ship’s sturdiness and the gentleness of the surrounding natural elements invites reflection on the passage of time and the impact of human activities on our environment.

Floating Frame

The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.

The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.

The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.

The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.

The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.

Frame with mat

This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.

The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.

Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.

This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
