About the artwork

  • Yes. Christi Carlo artworks are original digital paintings inspired by the visual heritage of Delft Blue porcelain.

    Created through a combination of artistic vision, digital craftsmanship and contemporary technologies, they explore new narratives where nature, myth and imagination intertwine.

    The artworks are available as museum-quality fine art prints.

  • Each Christi Carlo artwork begins with an idea, a story, or a visual question.

    Through research, experimentation and artistic refinement, traditional Delftware motifs are transformed into new narratives where nature, myth and imagination converge. Rather than reproducing traditional Delftware, Christi Carlo uses it as a point of departure for creating new worlds where nature, myth and imagination intertwine.

    The works are created using a combination of contemporary digital tools, artistic craftsmanship, careful refinement, and creative choices. Each artwork undergoes a process of exploration, selection and refinement before reaching its final form.

  • Beyond Delft Blue is both a title and an invitation.

    It reflects Christi Carlo's desire to move beyond the traditional boundaries of Delftware, using its visual language as a starting point rather than a destination.

    Through imagination, transformation and storytelling, familiar Delft Blue motifs are reinterpreted as new worlds where nature, myth and cultural memory intertwine. The result is contemporary digital art that is rooted in heritage, yet unconstrained by tradition.

  • No. Christi Carlo artworks exist first and foremost as original digital creations.

    Rather than being translated from a physical original, the fine art prints offered through this website are the intended physical manifestation of the artwork itself.

    To preserve the integrity of the editions and the artistic vision behind them, the original digital master files are not made available.

  • At present, Christi Carlo focuses on developing its own artistic projects and collections, and therefore does not generally accept commissioned work.

    From time to time, however, exceptions may be considered for exhibition projects, cultural institutions, galleries, or collaborations that align with the artistic vision of Christi Carlo.

About AI

  • No.

    Artificial intelligence is a tool that can contribute to the creative process, but it is not the artist.

    The works are created using a combination of contemporary digital tools, artistic craftsmanship, and creative choices. Every artwork is shaped through exploration, selection, refinement and artistic judgement before reaching its final form. AI may help generate possibilities, but it cannot determine meaning, intent or artistic purpose. The artistic vision, creative direction and final decisions always remain with Christi Carlo.

    For a more detailed explanation of our perspective on AI, please visit the One of the Guys page.

  • AI is used as one of several tools within the creative process behind Christi Carlo.

    Sometimes it contributes to idea generation, sometimes it helps explore visual possibilities, and sometimes it assists in the development of an artwork. However, AI never works independently. Every artwork is guided, selected, refined and ultimately shaped by human artistic judgment.

    At Christi Carlo, AI is not regarded as the artist, but as one of the contributors to a broader creative process that also includes research, storytelling, digital craftsmanship and artistic vision.

  • The images are created by Christi Carlo, the artistic collaboration of Carl De Cleen and Christine Kohl.

    Each artwork begins with an idea, concept or visual question that is developed through research, experimentation, artistic judgement and continuous refinement.

    Contemporary digital tools may contribute to different stages of the creative process, but every finished artwork reflects the artistic vision and creative direction of Christi Carlo.

About the prints

  • A fine art print is a high-quality reproduction of an artwork, produced using archival materials and professional printing techniques designed to achieve exceptional detail, colour accuracy and longevity.

    Christi Carlo prints are produced using the Giclée printing process, widely regarded as one of the highest standards in contemporary fine art printing. Giclée prints are created with archival pigment inks on carefully selected fine art papers, resulting in prints that closely reproduce the depth, colour and detail of the original artwork.

    Our prints are produced by Re-Art Fine Art Printing, a specialist studio serving artists, galleries and museums. Selected Collector Editions are also accompanied by the Certified Art Giclée™ quality label.

    The result is a museum-quality print intended to be enjoyed for a very long time when properly displayed and cared for.

  • Christi Carlo fine art prints are available in multiple carefully selected formats.

    Available sizes may vary depending on the artwork and edition. Please consult the individual product page for the currently available formats and pricing.

    Both Standard Edition and Collector Edition prints are offered in a range of sizes to suit different interiors and collections.

  • Yes.

    All Christi Carlo prints bear the official Christi Carlo signature.

    For Standard Edition prints, the signature is reproduced as part of the artwork and printed together with the image.

    Collector Edition prints are individually inspected, hand-signed, numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity before being shipped to their new owner.

    This distinction allows collectors to choose between an open edition intended for wider accessibility and a limited edition offering a more exclusive collecting experience.

  • Christi Carlo offers two editions of its fine art prints.

    The Standard Edition is an open edition and is available without limitation. Each print bears the official Christi Carlo signature as part of the printed artwork.

    The Collector Edition is a limited edition. Each print is individually inspected, hand-signed with the official Christi Carlo signature, numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

    The number of available prints in a Collector Edition varies per artwork and is clearly indicated on the corresponding product page.

  • Christi Carlo fine art prints are produced on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 gsm paper.

    This premium cotton fine art paper is renowned for its smooth surface, luxurious matte finish and exceptional archival quality. Its remarkable detail reproduction and outstanding colour fidelity make it particularly suited to the subtle tonal range and intricate details found in Christi Carlo artworks.

    The paper is acid-free, designed for long-term preservation and widely used by artists, galleries and museums around the world.

  • Yes, for Collector Editions.

    Each Collector Edition print is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Together with the hand-written Christi Carlo signature and unique edition number, the certificate confirms the print as an official limited edition.

    The certificate contributes to the provenance and collectability of the artwork and is included with every Collector Edition.

    Standard Edition prints do not include a Certificate of Authenticity.
