Masterpiece® takes pride in featuring the exceptional Artfix linen canvas, a hallmark of another family-owned business with over 50 years of expertise in Provence, France. Artfix stands out for its conservation-grade Belgian Linen, hand-primed by skilled artisans, catering to the needs of professional artists and conservation specialists. The collection boasts a variety of artist canvas types, including primed linens, cottons, and polyesters, highlighted by its Belgian linen weaves. From fine-tooth, quad-primed linens to the distinctive Belgian linen textures, the range covers a spectrum of desirable surfaces suitable for both intricate and large-scale artworks.
Each Artfix canvas is a masterpiece of preparation, beginning with up to two layers of specially formulated collagen and acrylic copolymer sizing. This essential process safeguards the canvas from the acidic elements in primers and paints, ensuring longevity and durability. Following this, the canvases receive between one and six layers of either oil-based or acrylic universal primer, making them versatile for various artistic mediums and techniques.
The oil-based primer from Artfix mirrors the traditional characteristics of lead priming but is free from harmful toxicity. This primer's unique properties enhance the absorption of oil paints, significantly improving adhesion, color depth, and luminosity. It is especially recommended for all oils and alkyd paints, providing artists with a reliable and high-quality surface for their creative expressions.

Art is not to be taught in Academies.
♦ Francisco de Goya
One of the most celebrated figures in Spanish art, Francisco de Goya stood at the crossroads of the old masters and the onset of modern art. His work, characterized by bold technique and expressive content, often carried undertones of social commentary and personal reflection. The essence of this quote captures a sentiment that defines not only Goya's approach but also a broader perspective about artistry itself.
Art, in its purest form, emerges from the soul, the experiences, and the emotions of the creator. While academies and institutions can instruct on techniques and provide historical contexts, the essence of artistry, the spirit that drives each of us, is deeply personal. As artists, we understand that while the technical skills can be honed in structured environments, the heart and passion that imbue our work with life come from within. It is our unique perspectives and individual experiences that shape our work, ensuring that no two pieces, even with similar themes, are ever truly identical.
Goya's assertion serves as a gentle reminder for us to trust our instincts, to value our unique voices, and to recognize that while knowledge can be shared, creativity must be nurtured from within. The heart of our craft lies not in formal lessons but in the countless moments of inspiration that spark our imagination.
Creativity is everything to us artists, so while you bring canvases to life, we've breathed digital life into a likeness we made of Francisco de Goya, and provide a quote and context to inspire your art. Together, our creations honor the past, present, and future of artistry. Start spreading some paint around your own canvas!
