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.

Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable desire to see the truth.
♦ Cicero
Being an avid lover of philosophy, Cicero's quest for truth was unending. He believed in an innate human drive to uncover realities, peel layers, and understand the world's essence. Artists are natural seekers of truth. Through our mediums, we probe, question, and express, trying to capture the world's truths as we perceive them. Whether it's the truth of an emotion, a scene's essence, or a societal reflection, our creations are manifestations of this quest. And in this shared journey for authenticity and understanding, we find solidarity, knowing our desires and pursuits resonate deeply with Cicero's 2000 year old wisdom.
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 Cicero. Go paint!
