Description:

ntroducing the rarest way to collect Papa Ocean — the Hand-Embellished Edition.

Each edition begins as a signed limited print, then is personally enhanced by Mark Baratto with paint, texture, and detail. Before the embellishment begins, you’ll have a direct conversation with the artist to share your preferences — ensuring no two are alike and each piece reflects both the artist’s hand and the collector’s vision.

Descend into the depths of imagination with Papa Ocean, the fourth installment in the evolving 100 Hemingways collection — a tribute to introspection, mystery, and the search for meaning beneath the surface.

In this aquatic reinterpretation, Hemingway trades his iconic desk for a deep-sea dive, surrounded by the shimmer of submerged worlds. With three layers of resin, the artwork comes alive — capturing the feeling of drifting weightlessly through sunlit waters. Diamond dust sparkles like sunlight piercing the ocean, illuminating both the canvas and the creative soul.

From the rippling textures to the tranquil palette, Papa Ocean is a meditative piece — a reminder that sometimes, inspiration lies not above, but far below.

👉 Only 5 Hand-Embellished Editions will ever exist of this design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your prints ready to hang?

Yes! All canvas prints come ready to hang with gallery-wrapped edges and a wire or sawtooth hanger already installed.

How is everything shipped?

All artwork is carefully packed and shipped from our Key West studio—or one of our trusted partner warehouses in the Central or West Coast U.S.

You'll receive tracking by email via UPS or FedEx, and we’ll always choose the fastest, most secure shipping method for your location.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within 3–5 business days. U.S. deliveries typically arrive in 7–10 days, depending on location.

What’s your return policy?

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If your artwork arrives damaged or you’re not completely happy, return it within 30 days for a full refund or exchange.

How is your art made?

Each piece begins as a photograph I take right here in Key West. Using custom digital brushes and a pressure-sensitive stylus in Photoshop, I hand-paint over the image—adding whimsical texture, color, and movement. Once complete, the original photo is removed, leaving only the digitally painted art behind.

Every piece is printed as a museum-quality Giclée on canvas with archival inks, then hand-stretched over wood bars for a clean, gallery-ready finish.

Tell me about the printing process?

I personally print and hand-stretch each canvas using professional-grade equipment in my Key West studio. This ensures color accuracy, quality, and attention to detail—start to finish.

For matted and framed pieces, I work with trusted partners across the U.S. who match my craftsmanship standards.
