How it works

How to find a piece you’ll still like in ten years.

This is a curated gallery, not a stock library — every piece here was chosen one at a time. So the useful thing to explain isn’t how to search it. It’s how to browse it, how to see a piece on your own wall before you commit, and what to do when the thing in your head isn’t on these walls at all.

01

Browse by what you’re drawn to

Most people arrive without a title in mind — they know the wall, the room, and roughly the feeling. The gallery is built for that. Filter the whole catalog by any of these, and combine them:

SubjectPlaceColourOrientationMediumEra

Pick more than one within a filter and you widen the net; pick across two filters and you narrow it. Colouris the one people underrate — if you’re matching a room rather than hunting a subject, start there and ignore everything else.

Or start from a collection

Collections are the curated route: a set of pieces grouped because they belong together, not because they share a tag. If you like one piece in a collection there is a good chance you like its neighbours, which is rarely true of a search result.

02

See it on a wall before you decide

Every piece page shows the artwork three ways: the print itself, a close detail, and the piece hanging in a real room. That last one is a photograph, not a drawing, and the artwork is scaled into it true to inches— so a 24″ piece and a 40″ piece look as different there as they will on your wall. Size is the decision people regret, and a number in a dropdown is a bad way to make it.

The shape belongs to the artwork

We don’t crop a painting to fit a standard frame. A piece prints at its own proportions, so what you get is the work, not a version of it trimmed to suit our stock. Where a piece can also sit neatly on a standard size, we offer that too — but the artwork decides, not the frame.

There’s usually a story attached

Many pieces carry an About this piecetab beside the print specs — where it came from, when, and what was happening around it. It’s there because a picture you know something about is a different object on your wall than a picture you don’t.

We make it, by hand, in Miami

Nothing here is warehoused. Your piece is printed when you order it, in our own studio — canvas and fine-art paper both. (Metal is the exception: those are made and shipped by our metal partner.) We print with latex inks, which cure into the material rather than sitting on top of it, so a canvas needs no glass and no lamination to survive normal life on a wall.

Ready to hang, or rolled for your own framer

Ready to hang is gallery-wrapped: stretched over 1.5-inch solid wood bars, wired, and ready for the wall the day it lands. Rolled in a tube is the same print, unstretched — for framing yourself, taking to your own framer, or travelling with.

What happens at the edges

On a ready-to-hang canvas the image wraps around those 1.5-inch sides, and you choose how they look:

  • Mirrored — the default. The edge reflects the artwork, so nothing is lost from the front.
  • Photo continues — the image carries around the sides, which means roughly 1.5 inches of it wraps out of view.
  • A solid colour band — white, black, or a colour you pick, leaving the whole piece facing forward.

Didn’t find it? Then bring your own.

A curated gallery has a real limit, and it’s the point of one: if we put everything in it, it would stop being a recommendation. So when the picture you actually want is a photograph you took — the house, the coast, the dog, the shot from a trip nobody else has — we’ll print that on the same canvas, in the same studio, by the same hands.

Upload it at canvasfab.app. You’ll see it as the canvas, then on a to-scale wall, and we’ll tell you honestly how big your file can go before it stops looking sharp.
