Artistic Craftmanship
A devotion to the Extraordinary.
Crafting the Unseen
All Attila Péter Fine Art pieces are created through a proprietary and secretive technological process, entirely managed in-house from start to finish. This production takes place in a 620 m² studio using the most advanced technologies of our time, without any external assistance.
Initially, the greatest challenge was that neither the technical conditions nor the necessary materials were available in Hungary. Thus, acquiring the "know-how" required 11 years of work to realize this branch of visual arts.
The Method
Each digital capture has been meticulously immortalized using a special method with the most advanced medium format camera of our time complemented by a tripod, panorama frame, nodal rail, remote release, gradient, and color filters. For certain shots, studio lights had to be set up on-site during the most suitable time of year and day to achieve the desired effect.
Phases of the Process
The first phase of the production process takes place in a dust-free, ion-cleaned laboratory spanning 220 square meters.
The vast digital raw material typically consists of ~8-35 captures, requiring the processing power of 3-6 high-capacity computers and specialized software. Editing of this raw material is conducted on a color-accurate monitor in a dedicated room calibrated to 5500 Kelvin, ensuring that enlargements of such magnitude preserve the original colors and richness of detail.
Thus, the finalized digital raw material is prepared for transfer onto a light-sensitive carrier (media) using Ultra Chrome ink and an extremely high-resolution (dpi) printing device. This process occurs in two phases: first, a test material is produced and analyzed with a color spectrophotometer to ensure that the color accuracy of the final media matches what is seen on the specialized monitor.
This is crucial for two reasons. Firstly, Ultra Chrome ink can reproduce 99.7% of the Pantone color gamut and, according to international qualification tests, maintain color accuracy for at least 120 years. Secondly, this light-sensitive media enables the depiction of the exact light captured at the moment of the photograph, as it imbues the artwork with its unique atmosphere.
Final Stages
In the next phase, the completed artwork is placed beneath a crystal-clear, rigid, UV-protected, anti-reflective (Tru-Vue™) "acrylic glass" under high pressure in a high-temperature environment. This is achieved by bonding it bubble-free and dust-free with melted liquid adhesive in a specialized, ion-cleaned adhesive laboratory. This process enhances the artwork's depth and provides protection against ultraviolet rays.
In the final stage, a sturdy back "metal plate" is affixed to the rear of the assembled artwork, ensuring its permanence, rigidity, and stability.This entire process, including drying times, typically takes an average of 2 days per image.
Following this, the artworks are transferred to the "Dusty workshop," equipped with 400 square meters of purpose-built machinery, where framing takes place.
The framing of the artworks involves two distinct processes:
The creation of an Internal Textile-Covered Frame, designed to keep the light rays contained within the image, and an external hardwood frame that adds to the image's characteristics.
Every textile-covered Internal Frame is handmade from 100% canvas material, using "feel" adhesive, in a sterile adhesive chamber, with protective gear!
The External Frame is imported from Italy or the United States (ROMA Moulding™) through Canada to our country upon our unique order, requiring specialized cutting and bottom-angle stapling machinery!
The final step, where the artworks assume their ultimate form, demands great attention to detail and precision to optimize the thermal expansion of the "assembled" various materials!
In the work of the 2022 collection, Simon Krisztián, who won the Worldskills 2019 - Joinery World Championship held in Kazan, participated in these tasks! Thanks to him!
Subsequently, the finished artwork arrives at the Gallery with a Unique Identification Hologram (UIH) and a Certificate of Authenticity, minimizing the risk of forgery or replication.
Every artwork is accompanied by such a Certificate of Authenticity... a hidden Identification Hologram on the back of the artwork, with the Third holographic identifier stored in the armored safe of the Attila Peter Fine Art central office along with the Collector's Papers.
