Signed, Archival Dye Sublimation Aluminum Metal Print

Our collector's editions are archival prints signed and numbered by artist Mikael Owunna in limited edition, with only nine that will ever be produced. Due to their limited, archival, and signed nature, collector's editions accrue value over time, make a priceless addition to your collection, and are a valuable long-term investment. Mikael Owunna collector's edition pieces have been acquired by major museums, private collections, and institutions across the world, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University; Davidson College Van Every / Smith Galleries; Equal Justice Initiative; Duke University Pratt School of Engineering; and Middlebury College Museum of Art.

This archival print is printed directly onto aluminum with a brilliant white high gloss surface for unsurpassed detail and vibrance. The white gloss surface creates a glass-like, vibrant finish for each piece with deep blacks and a stunning 3-Dimensional effect. Each print comes complete with an aluminum brace hanging system, which allows the artwork to float frameless off the wall as if it were floating through space, and is backed with 1/4" of Sintra for added durability and weight. Collector's Edition is signed and numbered by Owunna. 

In Igbo, the word “mmadu” means “human being,” but it is a contraction of the words “mma” and “ndu,” which together literally mean the “beauty of life.” In this cosmology, the beauty of life is in becoming a fully realized, spiritually enlightened individual, an “enlightened one” who is deeply connected to and draws on the primordial blackness of the Igbo creator gods Chukwu and Eke-Nnechukwu.
