The images available in this digital catalog have copyright protection metadata and digital tracking systems. Unauthorized use of these visual files for commercial, advertising, or academic purposes (without citing the source), or for training Artificial Intelligence tools, constitutes a direct infringement of intellectual property laws and will lead to corresponding civil and criminal legal actions.

  • Prices: All prices are shown in the currency indicated on the screen and do not include shipping costs, which will be calculated transparently at checkout before finalizing the transaction.
  • Data Accuracy: The Customer is responsible for providing complete and truthful shipping and billing information. We are not responsible for delays or losses resulting from incorrect addresses.

All original works of art and, where applicable, limited edition series or signed Giclée prints, are delivered accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Teresa Espinosa. This document is the legal and historical proof of the provenance and originality of the piece, so we suggest that collectors keep it in a safe place together with the physical work.
