We have spent many years creating a collection of paintings portraying some of the world’s most famous cities, museums and monuments. Our mission is to provide the countless tourists who visit these places with a reproduction of any painting from our collection.
Our paintings have been lovingly created using a variety of media and techniques including canvas and gilded metal but they all share the same uncompromising quality and production values that will delight their owners for decades to come. Our pictures are a «convenient» souvenir size (15×20cm painting, 20×25cm including mount), and high-quality individual packaging.
We use the highest quality silk-screen printing methods to create our reproduction paintings. Some experts believe that China is the true home of silk-screen printing because it was here that silk was first produced and decorated. And indeed, the very term «silkscreen» means drawing on silk. However, according to another theory, silk-screen printing first originated in the Mediterranean, somewhere between Mesopotamia and Phoenicia. Ancient screens have been found in this region, which were used to transfer drawings onto fabric. Even back then, these decorative works were not created by hand but used semi-automatic devices that applied original
drawings to cloth using what is now known as the «multiplier system». Later in Japan, around the 12th and 13th centuries, drawings were made using images printed on screens made out of human hair. The creation of these screens required a huge amount of time and effort.
The advantages of silk-screen printing are manifold but the main ones are the comprehensive richness and brightness of the colours reproduced. The technique also provides extremely high quality, durable and long-lasting reproduction prints.
Some of our paintings are printed on a gold background. This is created by applying the highest quality gold-coloured, titanium nitride (TiN) coatings to a stainless steel surface. This provides a highly scratch-resistant surface that is 100−200 times harder than gold while maintaining the painting’s original texture and layering. TiN coatings are excellent decorative coatings that are a vast improvement on traditional electroplated and painted coatings such as gold plating. Our TiN coating is guaranteed to provide 50 years of protection even outdoors. (If our «gold background» paintings lose their lustre, simply wipe them with any regular product used for cleaning monitor screens or glasses and they will shine as good as new again).
