This print is made to last, produced with museum-quality giclée printing, a fine art process that uses pigment-based inks to achieve exceptional detail, rich color, and superior longevity.

Printed on 310 g/m² Canson Baryta, a bright white fine art paper that combines the look and feel of traditional darkroom fibre prints with modern inkjet precision. Its Baryta base enhances contrast, creating whiter whites and deeper blacks, while the light gloss coating adds subtle reflection and exceptional clarity. The extra-smooth surface delivers vivid colour, rich tonal depth, and refined detail. Ideal for high-contrast or vibrant imagery.

We use premium frames – made from solid wood with a classic straight profile. Minimal design for timeless appeal, blending seamlessly with any interior.

The frames are made of only high-quality components:

clear polished float glass (2 mm thick)
acid-free insert
ayous wood moulding
backingboard made of sturdy MDF (class A, 3 mm thick)
Made in The Netherlands

To draw the eye to the piece we add an elegant passepartout around the artwork. It is a museum-quality, acide-free cardboard of 1.8 mm in thickness cut to an angle of 45°.

Your order arrives ready to hang. We use a nail-hanging type of fixture on the reverse panel. From size 40 × 40 cm and above, the frames are equipped with a three-point wire hanging system instead.

Basque Country

Between sea and city. Walking along the promenade, everything feels balanced. Nature and city coexist without effort. Vibrant, yet calm at the same time.

Meet the Artist

Florian Laroye is a photographer drawn to the essence of a moment. Rather than chasing the spectacular, he focuses on color, form, and composition to capture emotion, often with a sense of quiet romanticism. He calls it the Art of Noticing.

“Wherever I go, my camera is always with me. Always just 2 seconds away from the next capture. I let my curiosity notice colors, shapes, compositions, romanticism and boooom, it’s captured.”
