Deep Sea Bioluminescence Poster Fine Art Print

BIOLUMINESCENCE POSTER

* What is bioluminescence?
Bioluminescent organisms produce and radiate light. The light animals emit is created inside their bodies, meaning they are able to glow and glitter in complete darkness. Some of the planet's bioluminescent creatures live in the deep ocean. Many exist in the twilight zone, the part of the ocean from 500 to 1,000 metres deep, which is always dark in its lower margin. It is thought that up to 90% of life in the twilight zone creates light in some form.
* How does bioluminescence work?
The light that living creatures can produce is created by a chemical reaction. For this reaction to happen a plant or animal must carry a molecule called luciferin, plus one of two enzymes called luciferase and photoprotein. When luciferin chemically reacts with oxygen, it releases energy in the form of light. Different animals and plants contain different types of luciferin.
The most common light produced in the ocean is green and blue, as these wavelengths travel further through water.

PRINTS
All prints are the exact reproduction of the original artworks, you can still see the original pencil strokes. They come from a local professional printing company, printed on extra heavyweight 350 g/m2 matte paper with a fine silk touch to make it stand out.

PRINT CARE
To keep your print in its pristine condition it’s best to frame it as soon as possible. Once removed from the protective sleeve, please handle at the edges only and try to avoid the ink especially the blacks. Carefully unroll and flatten your print for best results. Once it’s framed please keep them away from direct sunlight as they tend to fade that way.

PREPARATION
All prints are printed on demand so please allow 2 weeks maximum to prepare your order for postage. I will of course send them out as soon as possible.

POSTAGE
All orders are sent out in postal tubes due to their sizes and most importantly for protection. This way the prints are compact, easy to post and affordable.
