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.

The artist's profession is a solitary one, even if he finds himself in his studio surrounded by his models.
♦ Edvard Munch
The Norwegian painter and printmaker renowned for his iconic work The Scream, Edvard Munch touched upon a profound truth regarding the artist's inner world. His works often conveyed deep emotions, inner torment, and human vulnerability. Such intense expressions, as hinted by his words, stem from a place of solitude, regardless of external circumstances or company.
Artists often find themselves navigating the vast landscape of their thoughts and emotions, searching for that spark of inspiration or a nuanced perspective to present to the world. While external stimuli, such as models or vibrant surroundings, can certainly play a role in the creative process, the true journey is an internal one. Like Munch, we recognize that, at its core, the creation of art is an intimate conversation between the artist and their medium. This solitude, rather than being a source of loneliness, becomes a sacred space where pure, unfiltered creativity blossoms.
With an artist's spirit and a modern touch, we bring you this hand-selected quote and provide context to its meaning. To tie it all together, we include our own one-of-a-kind portrayal of Edvard Munch. Now let your colors flow!
