Ninon Richir Yurkewich is the co-founder of EROS+VESTA. Her characteristic French influence and idiosyncratic neutral colour palette are the heart of EROS+VESTA. Her interest in art and design awoke at a young age finding art treasures in old bookstores and antiquity shops in France. After travelling the world and living in Japan and Australia she is now based in Vancouver. Strongly influenced by Matisse, Picasso and the Modern Art Movement, she interrogates her French cultural heritage to find inspiration. Her work reflects simplicity, sophistication and a minimalistic flow of soft lines.

All EROS+VESTA prints are Giclée (Zhee-clay) quality and made using premium 100% Cotton Rag paper that is acid, lignin, chlorine, and OBA free. Cotton rag has long been regarded as the most sustainable form of paper on the planet, not only due to the fact that it contains no alpha-cellulose (tree) fibres whatsoever, but that the cotton seeds used to make the paper are themselves byproducts of the textile industry (aka recycled)! We then take things another step further by using an uncoated paper surface with no OBA (Optical Brightening Agents)…if you need a takeaway, our prints are made without trees and unnecessary chemicals. Giclée is a French term meaning “to spray” (referring to the printer nozzle), but what makes it so important? Fundamentally, this is the highest classification of premium art print production today due to the quality and longevity of the prints produced by this technique (museum grade). In order to be coined ‘Giclée,’ an art print must exhibit the following key characteristics: Image Resolution ≥ 300 DPI – Pigment Based Ink – Archival Paper  – Professional Inkjet Printer

Limited edition refers to the number of prints that are available for that particular artwork. The number of prints in an edition is determined by our in house artist and co-founder Ninon Richir Yurkewich. The tradition of limited edition prints is to have the artwork numbered and the various proofs editioned along with the numbered pieces. This means as artist, printer and publisher  EROS+VESTA will have a copy and a printing proof of every work done at the studio. 

When buying a matching frame, we will frame the art print for you so it is ready to hang when you receive it. About our frames: Solid natural oak wood frame & magnetic poster hanger proudly designed in Vancouver and manufactured using 100% FSC Certified wood. Shop here
