The Escape by Jeanne Rataj

Each Creative Action Network poster is hand-printed and handled to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The sturdy matte paper and premium inks create a vibrant, museum-quality image that looks great both framed and unframed. Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Artist Statement

I made this poster in ink drawing and then I colorized it numerically. There is a lifeline in the middle of a sea of barbed wire. In recent times, many immigrants wanted to migrate to Europe, the borders were immediately closed, barbed. The only choice available to those who fled their country was therefore makeshift boats which often end up in the middle of the Mediterranean. Some were fortunate to be saved but many did not arrive alive. — Jeanne Rataj
