Product Insights
Paper Collective's Hi Flower 02 Print presents an original commission by self-taught artist Marina Ayashiro on responsibly sourced 265gsm FSC-certified acid-free paper, reproduced as a made-to-order Giclée in Denmark to eliminate overproduction waste. The print's saturated blues, oranges, and greens are rendered without banding or colour clipping on archival paper that resists fading and yellowing, offering durability at 90 CAD—roughly 35% less than comparable Giclée prints. Available in 30x40 or 50x70 cm sizes that accept standard IKEA frames and allow borderless display, the 30x40 version crops to a 21x30 cm visible area when framed. The yellow colorway coordinates with Hi Flower 01's shared background, while a purple alternative offers a different mood, balancing series cohesion with individual flexibility.
- Artist
Self-taught artist Marina Ayashiro works across illustration, painting, and ceramics.
Why this is supported
Marina Ayashiro is a self-taught artist from Kyoto, Japan, after studying graphic design. She
balances commercial design work with her own artistic practice extending across illustration, painting and ceramics.
papercollective.comHer ceramics practice imparts soft contours to the Hi Flower character, and her inspirations from nature, food, travel, and animals infuse it with a smiling, pet-like friendliness. The artist also deliberately offers two colourways — yellow and purple — to provide different emotional temperatures.
Hi Flowers are always smiling at you (and your inner child.) They bring comfort, happiness and good feelings to everyone!
