"When I grow up, I want to be a painter." I always knew that, and I never changed my mind. Art has surrounded me for as long as I can remember. Museums, books, exhibitions—my world was filled with masterpieces that shaped my understanding of beauty, composition, and storytelling.

Yet, as a child, I believed that being an artist wasn’t an option for me. I had never heard the name of a female artist, never seen a painting signed by a woman. And so, I assumed they simply didn’t exist.

"Maybe I could be the first," I thought.

Later, of course, I learned the truth. Women had always been there—painting, sculpting, creating—but history had erased them. Their names, their stories, their art had been overshadowed, reduced to footnotes, or defined by their personal lives rather than their talent.

That absence shaped me. It shaped the way I saw myself and my place in the world of art. And it is that absence that Sign off reflects. In this photograph, I am surrounded by the works that influenced me most—portraits that have been part of my journey. And yet, none of them were created by women. Because for most of my life, I didn’t know their names.

Sign off is more than an image—it’s a statement. A reminder of the voices that were silenced and the ones reclaiming their space today.

To ensure the longevity and optimal preservation of your artwork, please follow these detailed care instructions:

1. Handling

Use Gloves: Always handle the photograph with cotton gloves to avoid leaving grease or moisture marks.

Avoid Direct Contact: Do not touch the surface of the photograph directly with your hands, as natural oils from your skin can deteriorate the paper.

2. Storage

Controlled Environment: Store the artwork in a cool, dry place, preferably at a room temperature between 10ºC and 30ºC with a relative humidity between 40% and 60%.

Individual Protection: If you have purchased more than one photograph, never stack them without protection between each one. Place tissue paper or any other soft paper between them to avoid damage.

3. Display

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Do not expose the artwork to direct sunlight to prevent fading.

UV Protection: If you decide to display the artwork, ensure it is protected by glass or acrylic with UV protection.

Frame Materials: If framing the artwork, use acid-free materials for the frame and mat. If the frame is made of wood and comes into direct contact with the photograph, it must be natural wood and unvarnished.

4. Adhesives and Mounting

Acid-Free Adhesives: Use acid-free adhesives to avoid yellow marks and deterioration of the support. Any other type of adhesive can cause long-term damage.

5. Cleaning

Dust Removal: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the surface. Do not use chemical cleaners or liquids.

Avoid Scrubbing: Do not scrub the surface of the photograph, as this can cause scratches or damage to the paper and the print.
