"New Beginning" Limited Edition Print

Formed on the methane-bubble ice of Abraham Lake, New Beginning captures a figure suspended between submersion and breath—half held by the frozen surface, half rising into light. Created with raw chalk and charcoal directly on turquoise ice, the portrait lived inside a narrow weather window where warmth, wind, and shifting light continuously rewrote the canvas. The work is a meditation on renewal at its most honest: not as a clean reset, but as the first inhale after a long season—quiet, vulnerable, and real. Documented by drone as the lake transformed through silvery shimmer, deep green-blue, and sunset fire, the portrait was ultimately reclaimed by Chinook wind and sublimation, fading into dust and ghosted traces—like proof that beginnings are often brief, and still sacred.

Each print is a limited edition (excluding A4) and is hand-signed, numbered, and marked with David’s fingerprint for authentication. All A3 prints and larger include a signed Certificate of Authenticity. For the first time ever, A3 sizes and above also feature an embedded NFC chip — allowing you to scan the print and access the full story through a digital certificate. Printed on thick, 100% cotton rag fine art paper with a natural white tone and subtle semi-rough texture, each piece carries the timeless presence of a classical drawing — with rich depth and tonal realism.

Each work is hand-signed by the artist and marked with his fingerprint using custom archival pigment ink. Every print is individually numbered and includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

The only open edition is the A4 size.

Available Sizes:

• A4 — Open Edition (Not Limited Edition)

• A3 — Timed Edition

What is a Timed Edition?

A timed edition is available only during a fixed release window. Once the release period ends, the edition is permanently closed and that size will never be printed again. The final edition number is determined solely by how many collectors acquire the work during that time.
