"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

Philippe Couture was born in Drummondville, Canada and raised in Lakeland, Florida where he began drawing and painting at a young age. In 2011, Phil and his wife Rachel moved to Japan, where he studied and painted for 7 years in both the northern region of Aomori and the ancient capital of Kyoto. In 2018, Phil left Asia for Europe and lived in Wrocław, Poland until 2023. He currently resides in Tampa, Florida.
Both 19th century European realism and 17th-19th century Japanese "Ukiyo-e" wood block prints have been a primary influence on Phil's artwork. His work strives to incorporate the Japanese genre of "Bijin-ga" or "pictures of beautiful women" and his style could be described as impressionistic realism. Having lived for 6 years next to Kyoto's oldest active geisha district, Kamishichiken, Phil naturally became fascinated by geisha and maiko culture. His time in Japan made an indelible impression on his life and artwork.
Primarily self-taught, Phil's art education consisted of drawing and painting from life, studying masterpieces in museums around the world, and employing exercises and techniques taught by classical ateliers. Among his influences are Velasquez, Sargent, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Waterhouse, Mucha, Utamaro, and Hiroshige.
Aside from studio work, Phil also enjoys painting and drawing outdoors on location whenever he travels. A major component to Phil’s life and art is traveling to unfamiliar places. "I enjoy painting and drawing what piques my interest, which usually includes visiting cultures from around the world." Whether it is painting geisha from Japan, holy men from Nepal, temples in Hong Kong or the rocky shores of Greece, Phil’s artwork is an expression of his experiences and what he finds compelling.
