An Intentionally Curated, Limited Edition Release

Written By Victoria Poveda

When I decided to create my first collection of limited edition archival prints, I knew I wanted to do things differently.

A few years ago, I released a small run of prints. They were lovely, but they weren’t archival quality. At the time, I didn’t realise how important that would become to me. Now I know: if I’m offering my work in print form, it has to be made to last.

Why I kept it small

This collection is intentionally curated. I’m not aiming for my art to be everywhere, printed on dozens of products or in huge quantities. I want each print to feel special — something chosen with intention, something that will truly be part of someone’s home.

That’s why I’ve started with a small, carefully selected group of artworks. It means I can give my full attention to every single one.

Each print is titled, numbered, and signed by hand before leaving my studio.

Quality, from start to finish

These prints are made on Museum RAG Etching Matte 310gsm — a beautifully textured, archival-quality paper designed to last for generations.

I worked closely with the printer to make sure the colours, textures, and delicate edges of each painting were perfectly preserved. The softness of the washes, the way the pigment settles into the paper — those details matter to me.

Each order includes a signed certificate of authenticity and a 10×13 cm mini print. The mini print isn’t archival — it’s a keepsake and a thank-you gift.

Thoughtful packaging

I believe the unboxing should feel just as special as the artwork itself. That’s why I prepare every order by hand:

  • Wrapped in acid-free tissue

  • Certificate of authenticity (signed and numbered)

  • 10×13 cm mini print as a thank-you

  • Handwritten thank-you note

  • Packed in a strong, protective cardboard tube

A handwritten note is included with each order — a personal thank you from me to you.

Why this matters to me

Selling my work directly is something I’ve always dreamed of. It feels personal, timeless — I create something with my hands, and it finds a place in someone’s life.

I don’t need my art to be everywhere. I just want it to be in the right places, with the right people. And if one of these pieces ends up in your home, I hope it’s a quiet reminder that beauty doesn’t require perfection.

To everyone who has already purchased a print: thank you. Your support allows me to keep creating the way I believe in — slowly, intentionally, and with care.
