The Story

Wind, water and countless returning tides have shaped these cliffs into forms no architect could design.

The white chalk cliffs of Étretat have inspired artists for generations, and standing before them, I understood why. Their scale is impressive, but what interested me most was the way the arches and vertical faces resembled an immense natural sculpture.

I waited for the wake of a passing boat to disappear and for the light to become softer and more even. I wanted to move away from the familiar postcard view and allow the shapes of the cliffs to speak for themselves.

There is something almost architectural about these formations, yet every curve and opening belongs to the slow work of nature. My intention was to capture that quiet balance between the solidity of the stone, the movement of the sea and the simplicity of the light.

Printing, Edition & Authenticity

All artworks are professionally produced by WhiteWall, an internationally recognised Fine Art printing laboratory known for its high-quality materials and craftsmanship.

Each presentation uses a carefully selected Fine Art paper:

  • Epson Fine Art Cotton Smooth Natural for unframed paper prints.

  • Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta for Dibond-mounted prints, framed or unframed.

Each size is produced in a strictly limited edition of 15 signed and numbered prints, shared across all available finishes. Choosing a different presentation does not create a separate edition.

Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

Once the edition of 15 for a given size is complete, the work will no longer be available in that size.

In addition, no more than 30 prints of the same photograph will be produced across all sizes and finishes combined.

Once this overall limit is reached, the photograph will be permanently withdrawn from sale in every size and finish.

Production & Shipping

Each artwork is made to order and professionally produced by WhiteWall.

Shipping costs are calculated according to size, presentation and destination. Delivery times vary depending on the selected configuration and destination country.

Every artwork is securely packaged for safe delivery.
