Bio
Ciraco Framers is everything you know a custom framing shop to be and much more. All of our work is done on the premises. There are 5 of us that make up the guild of workers. My shop has been built on the old tradition of the integrity of workmanship and customer relations. Please visit our website - ciracoframers.com to see what we are all about. Our intention is to use the Etsy platform to showcase our framing inspirations. I love the creative process. I always aspire to think outside the box (on all levels). This can be challenging at times because the box is always in front of you. I consider my 3D creations as an inspired event Outside the Box. One of my guidelines is to always follow my excitement and to allow the creative process to unfold. Thank you for your appreciation.
Creating my 3D Art:
My many years as a custom picture framer have allowed me close observation of hundreds of artistic creations which deepened my creative inquiry. I continually contemplated, "How could I make the artwork become more alive". In this way, the viewer could further appreciate what the artist was conveying. This intense inquiry finally culminated in the emergence of this magical 3D perspective .
This image is mounted onto a 1" - 1 1/2" light weight high density material (not wood). After mindful study, I will feed various aspects of this image manually through a very thin blade. (The results leave me with puzzle piece components).
Next, the sides of each cut piece are hand-painted to blend in with the foreground of the selected image. After the pieces are dry I reassemble all the elements. A multi-dimensional depth of field emerges as the pieces are placed in their positions to enhance the look of the original image.
We now have a finished 3D creation with a thickness of 1 1/2" to 2 1/2". A specially designed shadow box is created.
The sides of the shadow box are now painted to further enhance the 3D composition.
Now comes the final stage. The selecting of complimentary museum mats and wooden frames with a styling that is integral to the renewal of the artwork. Certificate of Authenticity Enclosed.
