Open Edition Print:

An open edition giclee print is a high-quality copy of an original artwork, made using archival inks on professional-grade printing media such as watercolor paper or canvas. It has bright colors and sharp details that look just like the original art. However, it is not signed or numbered by the artist and there are no limits on how many can be made, so they are not as rare or valuable as limited edition prints.

Original Encaustic Painting Description:

"Headache" an encaustic wax painting depicts abstracted portrait of a person who is looking up towards the sky while what seems to be a blast of colorful turquoise, pink and kings blue flowing up outwards towards the sky.

"Headache", an encaustic wax painting by artist Mike Giannella, showcases an abstracted portrait of a person looking up towards the sky. The entire panel is swept with a vibrant array of colors including turquoise, pink and kings blue that are expertly blended to create an eye-catching and dynamic effect. The painting is technique-driven, featuring the unique characteristics of encaustic wax such as its textured and malleable nature. It gives depth to the piece, while the brushing of blues, pinks and whites resemble ink being spilled from a brush. This creates a sense of movement in the image, as if the colors are cascading upwards towards the sky. In this way, "Headache" expresses both emotion and dynamism with its masterfully composed palette and creative use of medium.
