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 completes what nature cannot bring to a finish. ♦ Aristotle

The ancient Greek philosopher whose ideas have left an indelible mark on Western thought, Aristotle was an advocate for understanding the world around us through observation and reason. His perspective on art, as encapsulated in this quote, reveals a profound insight into the symbiotic relationship between nature and human creativity.
In the dance between the natural world and the constructs of the human mind, art emerges as a bridge. While nature provides the raw materials, the landscapes, and the myriad inspirations, it is through our artistic endeavors that we give voice to the unspoken and shape to the formless. Artists take on the role of translators, completing the narratives that nature commences but leaves open-ended. We embrace the imperfections, the fleeting moments, and the unresolved tales, and through our canvas, brush, or chisel, we offer interpretations and conclusions.
For Aristotle, the pursuit of knowledge was paramount. In much the same way, as artists, we seek understanding, connection, and expression. Nature lays the groundwork, igniting our curiosity and wonder. And it's up to us to seize that spark, to carry forth the dialogue, and to ensure that the stories nature begins find their rightful endings in our artistry.
We curated this insightful quote by Aristotle, and our interpretation thereof; plus we made this portrait in the spirit of creativity. Time to create your own expression!
