"Release" - Collectors Edition

Each Collector’s Edition of Release is handcrafted in Finland by David and his team as a one-of-a-kind sculptural artifact—no two are ever the same. Built on a solid substrate, the foundation is created through an elemental process inspired by the original location: fire to etch and crack the surface, air to move pigment like weather, and layered materials to build a texture that feels alive—aged, fractured, and geological, echoing the world the portrait was born from.

The artwork is printed on museum-quality, heavy cotton textured paper, mounted into the sculptural base, and sealed beneath a crystal-clear, UV-resistant resin that reads like a ceramic glaze—deep, still, and glass-like. Fractures are intentionally formed and carefully emphasized, mirroring the broken ice and the emotional core of the work: the moment the past finally moves downstream and the mind becomes quiet again.

Every edition is hand-finished, signed, and numbered, and includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity. A discreet NFC tag is embedded into each piece—tap it with your phone to access the full project experience and a digital Certificate of Authenticity.

This limited edition merges fine art with sculptural form—an object that holds the feeling of release long after the original work has disappeared.

Each work is hand-signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity, an A4 companion print, and a digital NFC link to a digital certificate and video of the creation of the piece.

Individually numbered in a very limited timed edition:

Available Sizes:

• A3 — Timed Edition

• A2 — Timed Edition

• A1 — Timed Edition

What is a Timed Edition?

A timed edition is available only during a fixed release window. Once the release period ends after the 7 days, 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.

Shipping (Collector Editions)

Collector Edition prints are securely packed and shipped via UPS Express.

Because each Collector Edition is made to order and finished by hand in our studio in Finland, please allow up to 5-7 weeks for production and dispatch. Every piece goes through a bespoke process—flame-burning to form cracks, hand-tinted pigment ink work within the fissures, and final finishing—so no two are ever identical.

If you’re working with a specific deadline, email David at popa@davidpopaart.com and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Returns

Each Limited Edition Collector Print is one-of-one, so we’re unable to accept returns or exchanges.

We’re also unable to make changes or cancellations after 24 hours.

If your artwork arrives in anything other than perfect condition, please contact us and we’ll do our best to repair or replace the piece.
