Catalog

Each painting is made entirely with oil paint. The involvement of this painting coupled with the exceptional talent of our painters, are the keystones of the intensity and depth of our paintings.

Oil paint In the context of creating texture, oil paint is best suited to reveal the full depth of colour, as it offers great versatility. The refractive qualities of oil (the way light passes through the vehicle) provide a unique richness of colour. By mixing it, it forms a stable film which, under the right maintenance conditions, will last for many generations. Linen/cotton fabric The combination of cotton and linen gives our fabrics strength, flexibility and durability. In this way, they are resistant to tension, temperature and humidity variations. Stapling The fabrics are then stretched and fixed with staples to ensure security, durability and hold on the frames. Much more secure and durable than the seeds of yesteryear, they do not oxidise or damage the canvas if they are removed. Wooden frames with keys The frames are made of solid aspen wood, or more commonly black poplar, from sustainably managed forests (FSC certified). The frames are treated to guarantee exceptional stability and are free of any resin. All the frames (with crossbars for the largest formats) are equipped with keys to tighten the canvas in case of loosening or flapping without having to remove it. A simple mechanical action is more than sufficient. The keys are essential for the cohesion and the control of the tension of the canvas, especially for large formats and thick pictorial materials which will be more prone to loss of tension. Finally, to ensure the security of your purchase and to relieve you of this task, all paintings have their own hanging system. This is provided by two side panels and a steel cord, which will allow you to fix it to the wall.

If a painting among the proposed artists is not in our catalog or if you wish to propose a painter who practiced before the XXth century, you can submit your request and your dimensions. Our team will take care of sending you an estimate and our painters will take care of the rest.

As reproduction is legally possible only 70 years after the artist's death, when it enters the public domain, we cannot offer reproduction of artworks from the post-1950s currents, as these are still protected by copyright.

All our products are available to order.
