Artisan Spirit brings high quality Prints and Vintage Paintings to the design market.
The vintage paintings art collection was created to simulate an antique painting in need of slight restoration. Every painting is done by hand and there are no two pieces exactly alike. The actual work is done by an artist who restored paintings for museums for many years. The process created by this artist is unique and all of the work is done by his entire family. First, a wood stretcher is assembled and cloth is stretched over the stretcher using square headed nails. A paper print is then transferred to the cloth. The pigment from the print is actually separated from the paper and only the ink is adhered to the cloth. The subject matter is then painted to bring out details in the painting. After this step, the piece is distressed, removing the existing paint to duplicate the aging process. The final step is to varnish the entire pieces as you would any original painting. Each step of the entire process is done entirely by hand.
