“Using biro ink as a medium is similar to the craft of tattooing. It demands precision and accuracy leaving no room for error, there is no eraser. You have to commit to each stroke with caution, a challenge that requires you to be decisive in both your ability and execution.”
This collection is the result of many years of devotion to detail, a true passion project. We are excited to be able to finally share these incredible art prints with everyone for the first time.

Got that print in a nice black box labeled that there was no doubt: that’s Malosi!
Unpackaged and brought directly to an expert shop to the correct frame and the best glass to protect that piece. The man taling measurements said he never saw a fish „portrait“ like that before, but the liked the high quality of the print and of the paper itself. They will directly put the certificate on the back of the frame later. Can’t wait to get the print and custom made frame back in February

Great product and service. I had originally wanted this artwork while it was out of stock. Submitted a request for notification when back in stock. Waited a few months, received back in stock email, item sold out within minutes. After another waiting period, another back in stock email which produced the goods. Shipping to NZ very reasonable and a great time frame of arrival. Thanks very much!
