What Collectors Ask Me

This isn’t a poster or reproduction. It’s a museum-grade artwork — hand-signed by me, Adam Biernat, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Every piece is crafted with archival materials of the highest standard — luxurious 100% cotton paper, pigment-based inks, and decades of technical refinement. But what makes it truly fine art is the vision behind it.

I’m an award-winning fine art photographer who has spent the past decade capturing the stillness of Iceland’s most remote corners. Since 2014, I’ve lived in the Icelandic wilderness for months at a time — beside glaciers, volcanoes, and faraway fjords — waiting for the light to break through the fog.

These aren’t just landscapes I photograph. They’re places I’ve lived, listened to, and waited for — until something quiet and true reveals itself.

My work has appeared on the covers of Iceland’s leading magazines, in award-winning exhibitions, and will soon be published by Assouline in Iceland Epic — a globally renowned collector’s book.

When you collect one of my pieces, you’re not buying a decorative image — you’re investing in a meticulously crafted, deeply personal work of art, made to last for generations.

Each artwork is hand-signed by me, Adam Biernat, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

It’s crafted with museum-grade materials and built to last — but more than that, it’s a reflection of years spent exploring the far edges of Iceland, waiting for the quiet moments others miss.

No. Each piece is backed by my Lifetime Fade Warranty. It is crafted to last a lifetime — and beyond.

Printed with archival inks on museum-grade cotton paper, it meets the highest conservation standards.

If your piece ever shows any, even the tiniest, signs of fading, I’ll replace it — no questions asked.

Absolutely. I use archival Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 gsm — one of the world’s finest photographic papers — paired with top-tier archival inks (12-ink Canon Lucia Pro) for exceptional depth, detail, and longevity.

Yes. Each piece has a clean white margin that gives it space to breathe and allows me to hand-sign it. Custom orders without a border are also available.

Looking for exact dimensions? You can find them here.

Absolutely. I’m happy to prepare a custom order for you — just email me: adam@adambiernatstudio.com

Custom sizes and custom requests (f.ex. black and white version) apply only to non-Limited Edition artwork.

Pencil is the most archival writing tool, and in the art world, it is a common practice to sign fine art photographs with a pencil. It is simply considered more professional.

Graphite does not fade when exposed to light, so my signature will never disappear. I use special pencils that don't smudge easily.

Apart from that, a pencil signature tells you that the artist has approved the artwork and hand-signed it.

Sometimes you can come across work on which the signature is printed and resembles a signature made with a pen (it is very difficult to distinguish one from the other, and the printed signature has nothing to do with real fine art).

It's impossible to forge a pencil signature this way.

Yes. You’re not buying a decorative print — you’re collecting a meticulously crafted, deeply personal work of art.

My photography has been featured in award-winning exhibitions, on Iceland's leading magazine covers, and will soon appear in Assouline’s Iceland Epic — a collector’s book published worldwide.
