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.

To the complaints of many of my colleagues, I am a student who is unafraid of using numerous colors. ♦ Francisco de Goya

One of the most significant Spanish painters of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Francisco de Goya often found himself at the crossroads of tradition and revolution. Living through times of turbulent change, both in society and in the arts, Goya's works span the Rococo and Romantic periods. His artistic evolution was characterized by boldness, experimentation, and an often daring divergence from the normative aesthetics of his time.
The audacity to embrace a rich palette wasn't merely about aesthetic preferences; it was a testament to Goya's individualistic spirit. While many artists of his era adhered to a restricted and conventional use of color, he saw in the spectrum of shades a mirror to the complexities of human experience. For artists, colors are tools, mediums of expression, each hue holding a myriad of emotions and stories. When we liberally dance across the spectrum, we're not just painting; we're speaking, we're feeling, and most importantly, we're living.
Francisco de Goya's unapologetic approach to his art reminds us of the importance of authenticity. In our path, when faced with critics or traditionalist perspectives, it is imperative to remember that the true essence of art lies in the freedom of expression. His courage in the face of criticism serves as a beacon, urging us to find our unique voice, embrace our individualism, and never shy away from the colors that define our essence.
We offer you these words of wisdom and our take on the message in hope to inspire your art. We also pay tribute by creating this unique portrait of Francisco de Goya. Go paint!
