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.

Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life.
♦ Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch, the mind behind the iconic painting The Scream, was no stranger to the shadows of existence. Born into a family plagued with illness and bereavement, the tapestry of his life was woven with threads of melancholy and pain. These personal trials became the very fabric from which he drew inspiration, letting the raw, visceral emotions bleed onto his canvas.
Artists often pull from the depths of their own experiences, channeling their emotions into a tangible form. The challenges that beset us, the very tribulations that seem insurmountable, often become the fuel for our creative fires. Munch's acknowledgment of his life's angels — however dark they may seem — serves as a poignant reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can find a voice, a medium to express and make sense of our experiences. For many of us, art becomes that refuge, a sanctuary where we confront our demons and immortalize them, not as chains that bind, but as wings that empower.
Journey with us as we blend the wisdom and our own artistic representation of Edvard Munch. May this alliance empower your artistic soul. Begin your masterpiece!
