  • Aleksandra Prints are archival museum quality reproductions of originally hand-made collages.

    The collages were created in the artist’s Palermo, Sicily studio in 2007-2009 and exhibited internationally in galleries and museums for the past two decades.

    Today, most originals are part of private and permanent public collections.

    Aleksandra Prints started on the initiative of exhibition audience members who asked for affordable reproductions. These are now issued to the wider public as Print-on-Demand Limited Editions.

    A collage combines elements from different sources into a new image and physical reality.

    The physical materials for the original collages were sourced from antique dealers and second-hand bookshops. As such, and although Aleksandra Prints are made new on fresh and intact high quality paper, all original features have been reproduced, adding to the aged hand-crafted look, including a visibly aged paper patina and the authentic wear and tear of the original.

    Furthermore, in creating the collages, the artist sliced and tore through the source materials on purpose, leaving clear paper-cut marks that are also reproduced on the print.

    100% human-made. No AI was used in the creation of these artworks.

  • Giclée print on Hahnemühle German Etching paper

    The word Giclée (“g-clay”) is derived from the French verb gicler, meaning “to squirt or spray”. It is a process that uses high-resolution inkjet printers, pigment-based inks and acid free papers to achieve a superior quality print with exceptional detail, vibrant color accuracy, and long-term durability.

    Hahnemühle German Etching is a traditional mould-made copperplate printing paper. The white art paper made from 100% alpha cellulose is characterized by its extraordinary velvety tactile feel and its fine, clearly defined felt structure. The unique surface texture adds a very special touch to images, showcasing them in all their splendour with impressive three-dimensional effect and depth. German Etching is acid- and lignin-free and meets the most exacting requirements in terms of age resistance.

  • Aleksandra Prints come in three standard formats, Small, Medium and Large:

    A4 (S) – 21 x 30cm / 8.3 x 11.7"
    A3 (M) – 30 x 42cm / 11.7 x 16.5"
    A2 (L) – 42 x 59cm / 16.5 x 23.4"

    Please note that each original collage was created in an unique format and the image areas within the prints therefore vary. They are surrounded by white space to create the uniform print formats: A2, A3 or A4.

    You can keep the white space, extend it with a mat or crop it out when framing.

  • Aleksandra Prints are only available on www.aleksandraprints.com

    Each print comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity capped at 100/100.

    Your print is only authentic if you bought it here (or from someone who originally bought it here) together with the numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

    We are able to track all edition numbers to their original buyers so to establish provenance.

    Please note that these are not original collages but museum quality reproductions.

  • Aleksandra Prints does not offer framing but we recommend these three style options:

    Minimalist – A ‘frameless’ clip frame in glass or acrylic in standard A4, A3 or A2 formats that match the prints sizes exactly. They are easily available in shops and can be ordered online.

    Mediumalist – Adding a larger white or colored mat to extend the white space around the image area up to any preferred size. This framing method protects the print by allowing some air between print and glass. Select any custom-sized frame and profile from a framer of your choice.

    Maximalist - New or Antique Gold, Bronze or Silver custom made frames with a different profile for each print. Visit a local framer to explore their profiles or source frames from markets and antique shops.

    Please note that each original collage was created in an unique format and the image areas within the prints therefore vary. They are surrounded by white space to create the uniform print formats: A2, A3 or A4.

    You can keep the white space, extend it with a mat or crop it out when framing.

The Dream and The Promise was born as the result of a journey from New York to Palermo, the cities where the artist has worked over the past two decades. It was the flea markets and old religious shops of Palermo that allowed her to find antique holy cards, rare prints and souvenirs of religious ceremonies, which she then combined with images of space exploration to produce a visually striking and uniquely evocative short circuit. Aleksandra Mir reconfirms with her exhibition in Rome her surprising talent for the art of astonishing. This is also thanks to her wealth of irony, which allows her to fly high with incredible lightness’.

Massimo di Forti, Il Messagero, Rome, March 2010

‘Hi! My sister saw some of your work displayed in Italy and sent me photos. I am absolutely mesmerized and as a woman who works in science as a nurse practitioner for newborns but also is spiritual and deals with life and death and culture in the context of science, Aim at the Stars collage and Child collage from 2009 are awe inspiring. I feel like no artwork has ever captured how I feel about that juxtapositon between humanity and technology. Do you have this art available as prints to buy or any way for individuals to purchase it for display in their personal home? I can’t imagine not having it in my home! Thank you for your time and thank you for your art’.
