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.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Primer Pigment
This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance for oil priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.
In time of war, the laws fall silent.
♦ Cicero
Cicero, the eminent Roman statesman and orator, bore witness to tumultuous periods in Roman history, observing firsthand the interplay between politics, war, and societal values. His observation about the muteness of laws during wartime isn't merely a comment on legal structures; it's a reflection on human nature and the sacrifices made in the face of existential threats.
Such poignant insights from historic figures remind us of the power of our medium to document, to challenge, and to comment. While laws may fall silent, our brushes, palettes, and canvases remain vocal, capturing the raw essence of humanity during its darkest hours. We hold a mirror to society, reminding it of its beauty, its flaws, and its resilience. Cicero's statement challenges us to rise to our roles as chroniclers of time, ensuring that even in the face of overwhelming adversity, the spirit of humanity remains undimmed and unbroken.
Echoing the timeless spirit of artistry, we bring you this quote paired with our beautiful portrait of Cicero that we created. Let your colors on the canvas speak!
