    ORIGINAL RETRO COSTA RICA POSTER - LIMITED EDITION 300ex

    Discover the vivid essence of Costa Rica with the 'Pura Vida Birds' travel poster, artfully designed by Alecse to encapsulate the vibrant soul of this tropical paradise. A beacon for both art lovers and wanderlust seekers, this limited-edition piece, restricted to 300 prints, features the eminent toucan and parrot—birds synonymous with the country's rich biodiversity. As symbols of the lush ecosystems, they add authenticity and a profound connection to the natural beauty of Costa Rica, making this poster not just an art acquisition but a celebration of its environmental treasures.

    This Alecse masterpiece portrays a serene Costa Rican coastline at sunset, with tropical birds in mid-flight, enriching the tapestry with local fauna. The artful blend of colors mirrors the natural palette of Costa Rica's splendid sunsets, while the attention to detail invites viewers to a journey through its enchanting scenery. The poster serves not only as a visual delight but also as a cultural bridge to the heart of Central America.

    With a soft focus style, Alecse utilizes a palette of warm hues and a distinctive half-tone render that pays homage to vintage travel posters. The colors are carefully chosen to evoke the tranquil yet vibrant spirit of the country, with shades of orange, red, and yellow that capture the essence of Costa Rican sunsets. The poster’s design, imbued with nostalgia, is a modern tribute to the golden era of travel.

    Perfect for expatriates longing for a slice of home or as a housewarming gift that adds a touch of artistry, this poster is a standout present for birthdays or any occasion. It's a unique and thoughtful way to bring a piece of Costa Rica into any space, with an originality and artfulness that can only come from the hand of a seasoned artist like Alecse.

  • About Alecse's style, blurs and half-tones

    Alecse's Original Travel Posters are celebrated for their unique half-tone render, a signature style that plays a crucial role in their appeal and authenticity. This distinctive digital effect is intentionally used to mimic the old poster printing process, where colors were rendered by the juxtaposition of dots of different sizes and colors. This method is a nod to vintage aesthetics, giving each poster a classic, retro look that aficionados of vintage travel and retro posters appreciate.

    Half-Tone vs. Pixelization:

    • Half-Tone is an artistic technique used to create shading and texture effects in images. It involves the arrangement of dots of varying sizes and spacing to simulate different shades of color. This technique was traditionally used in the printing industry to reproduce photographs and illustrations with a limited color palette, contributing to a poster's vintage appearance.
    • Pixelization, on the other hand, refers to an effect seen in digital images when they are enlarged beyond their resolution. This results in the individual pixels becoming visible, making the image appear blocky or mosaic-like. Pixelization is often considered a flaw or limitation of digital images, unlike the half-tone effect, which is a deliberate artistic choice.

    The posters by Alecse™ are printed in Fine Art 12 Giclées, ensuring high-quality reproductions that honor the original artistic intent. While these art prints are not meant to be crisp like photographs and intentionally include blurs and vintage effects, it's essential to distinguish these artistic choices from potential printing defects. A clear indication of a print's quality is the crispness of the signature and titles; if these elements are not sharp, it may indicate a printing issue.

    For those interested in the intricate details of Alecse's work or wanting to appreciate the half-tone effect fully, we offer the option to receive a close-up picture in High Definition before placing an order. This allows customers to make informed decisions and ensures satisfaction with their purchase of vintage travel and retro posters, enhancing their collection with pieces that truly represent the artist's vision and the era's printing techniques.

FAQ & IMPORTANT INFORMATION

What Makes Our Retro Posters Exhibition-Quality?

Every poster at Myretroposter.com is meticulously produced from the artist's master file. The dimensions of this master file consistently align with the largest size we offer, maintaining a resolution of 300 dpi. This meticulous process guarantees that each art print is a flawless reproduction, capturing the essence and detail envisioned by the artist.

Our commitment to delivering exceptional quality extends to every aspect of our process. We proudly collaborate with a leading professional British printing company, who crafts exhibition-quality FineArt 12 giclées posters on EMA paper 200gsm.

Does the poster come with a frame, or is it just the poster itself?

All our posters are limited editions and are delivered rolled, without a frame, as specified in the product description and specifications.

However, we do offer custom framing as an optional add-on. Please note that these frames are not backloaders—the poster is sealed within the frame. Shipping fees for framed posters vary depending on the destination and are calculated at checkout.
