Wish You Were Here - Look up to the skies and see (Hand Finished Print)
'Look Up to the Skies and See' draws on the powerful lyric from Bohemian Rhapsody, inviting viewers into a space of reflection and introspection. This hand-finished, limited edition print captures the feeling of gazing up at the sky to find clarity, meaning, or simply a moment of peace.
With soft clouds drifting across vibrant blue skies, the piece evokes a sense of calm, while the bold, metallic lettering adds an element of strength and contemplation. The layered spray paint and halftones bring texture and depth to the skyscape, creating an artwork that feels alive with both movement and stillness.
Perfect for those who seek art with meaning and emotional connection, Look Up to the Skies and See offers a moment of pause—a chance to look beyond the surface and reflect. Whether you’re drawn to the lyric, the imagery, or the message, this limited edition print is a unique addition to any collection.
Let this piece remind you to take a moment, look up, and find clarity in life’s vast skies.

About the concept
Welcome to "Wish You Were Here," a special series born from a poignant moment of reflection and connection. This collection was inspired by a conversation with my mother during her time in intensive care. Though my mother has since passed, the memory of that conversation and her love for the sea spurred me to create this series. "Wish You Were Here" is a tribute to the joy and calm of significant places and the emotional connections they have to myself and others.
"Wish You Were Here" began as a means of coping with grief but has evolved into a celebration of life and happiness.
Techniques used
This is a hand-finished giclée print of an original artwork created by James. The original was digitised at a critical part of the creative process to allow the giclée prints to be finished in the exact same way as the original. This method creates a symbiosis between the prints and the original, elevating the prints to more than just hand-finished—they become echoes of the original in the final stages.
These prints have been hand finished with spray paint and diamond dust to a level of uniqueness where no two prints are the same.
