IRON PAPER

Profilo

Since 1995 Formis has been recreating antique maps whose accuracy to the originals results in exquisite and prestigious artistic creations. These works also have a remarkable esthetic effect making them perfect for homes and offices where they may be admired and be the subject of interesting conversation. We employ the same techniques used in the past for printing and mounting. The printing of the subjects employs the use of copper plates upon a manual press thus producing one of the main characteristics of our work: engraving. The final result allows us to feel with our fingers the texture of the material, follow the lines, writings and figures that make up the actual work. Our high quality product is made even more precious because of our choice in the paper we use: It is 100% pure cotton paper, (the same that was used centuries ago), and it is mounted on pure cotton canvas. This process allows the works to be folded easily and thus can be better preserved. The works can be enriched even more by watercoloring done by masters in the field.
