A Bit About the Artist:
Michael A. Hefferon, is a local Vail Valley artist with an innate talent for capturing the abstract beauty within the convergence of nature and man-made environments, has carved a distinct niche in the realm of visual art. With a enthuosiasm for exploring the interplay between these two realms, Michael's work is a testament to the intricate dance of elements often overlooked in the hustle of everyday life.
Embracing the title "What Do You See?" as his abstract artistic style, Michael beckons viewers to embark on a journey of personal interpretation. The abstractions presented in his work serve as a canvas for individual narratives to unfold, creating a dynamic dialogue between the artist and observer. Every piece is a deliberate exploration of the uncharted territories where nature and human creation intersect, inviting the audience to question, interpret, and discover their own connections to the visual stories woven within each frame.
In Michael's world, art is not merely a static creation but a dynamic experience—an interactive invitation for viewers to delve into the depths of their own perceptions and find meaning in the intricate details carefully preserved in each abstract composition.
What is a Metal Sublimation Print?
In a custom press, we heat the transfer paper and aluminium to an extremely high temperature. This process turns the dyes from the transfer paper into gas, which are then pressed into the aluminium. The vibrant dye infuses beneath the surface of the aluminum and solidifies to create a permanent image. Metal sublimation prints are among the longest lasting printing methods on the market, not to mention scratch and weather resistant.
The final product boasts a glistening surface and fantastic color range. Metal sublimation prints are ideal for landscape photos, seascape photos, and any image that deserves extra luminosity.
I refer to the metal sublimation as “The print on steroids ‘’
