The papers used are: Epson Baryta Legacy II, USCanson , Rag, Epson and supports for GICLEÉ technology has theseused are paper and canvas. Both has these characteristics:
* Weight and Thickness:
Heavier weights: over 300 grs and more are used.
* Material Composition:
Giclee papers are made from high archival-quality materials, such as cotton rag or alpha cellulose. These natural materials as cotton and non-degraded cellulose contribute to the longevity and preservation of the print, ensuring it stands the test of time.
* Acid-Free and pH Neutral:
The presence of acids during the paper or canvas-making caused supports to be acidic. This made the support turn yellow, become brittle, and deteriorate faster over time. Acid-free and pH-neutral papers and canvases, processed to remove these acids prevent yellowing and deterioration over time, ensuring the longevity of the print.

Archival papers and canvases are designed to resist fading and deterioration over time. Giclee prints on archival materials are often rated to last for several decades or even centuries under proper conditions.

For paper prints, it is recommended to use a UV-protective acrylic, acid-free mat, and a lacquered natural wood frame. This combination ensures the longevity and safeguarding of the artwork. In the case of canvas artworks, they can be stretched on a wooden frame and optionally framed with a lacquered wood frame.

The Collage Technique
The emergence of surrealist collage is closely linked to the early 20th-century historical context when Freud’s psychoanalysis and theories on the unconscious were flourishing. Surrealist artists like Max Ernst and André Breton drew inspiration from these psychoanalytic ideas, aiming to express the complexity of the unconscious through art. They used collage as a means to explore the irrational and subconscious. This period of social, political, and cultural changes provided fertile ground for the artistic manifestation of these psychological concepts in art.
Collage can be related to how the brain processes and forms images due to its reflection of the fragmented nature of our thoughts and perceptions. Our brain gathers, processes, and assembles visual information from diverse sources to form a cohesive representation of reality, much like how a collage brings together disparate elements to create a complete picture. Just as collage merges images to convey deeper meanings, our brain synthesizes experiences and visual data to create a unified understanding of the world around us.
Contemporary digital collage has further evolved by harnessing technology to blend images more seamlessly and accessibly. The use of image editing programs allows even broader experimentation, merging visual elements from diverse sources in a way that reflects the information saturation of the digital age. This evolution of collage maintains its connection to surrealism by continuing to explore the unconscious and symbolic messages, now utilizing tools and resources unique to the modern era.
