Composite modular paintings for the interior

Any, even the most thoughtful interior looks unfinished if it lacks decorative elements - not representing value from a practical point of view, but still so necessary. Did you know that just one expressive and spectacular detail can turn a completely ordinary room into a picture from a fashion magazine? Modular paintings, representing a new design direction, causing great interest both among ordinary people and professional designers, cope with this task perfectly. Such a piece of decor is able to complement any style of interior, does not occupy free space and is always in sight, indicating the good taste of the owner.

What is a modular picture?

The so-called modular or composite paintings for the interior represent a canvas with a single image, divided into several parts, which can vary both in size and in shape. Each fragment of such a picture is stretched on a stretcher and has no frame, so that the image becomes more vibrant, voluminous and expressive, creates the effect of airiness and dynamism.

The first modular paintings in the interior of the premises were used in ancient Greece and Rome.

Segmented images can be made in a variety of techniques, from oil painting to embroidery. Not at all like ordinary paintings and reproductions, they invariably cause admiration and simply cannot go unnoticed.

Manufacturing technology for modular systems

Since the independent production of decorative modules is not for everyone, but the paintings are expensive enough, a new modern method of creating modular paintings was developed, which has become the most affordable and popular. The manufacturing process technology consists of the following steps:

1. Any selected image is digitized and then transferred to the canvas using high-quality printing technology.
2. The canvas, most often from natural flax, is cut into several parts of the desired shape: it can be squares, rectangles located both vertically and horizontally, diagonally divided fragments.
3. Each part of the modular system is manually pulled onto a durable stretcher made of natural wood, such as pine. For this, the method of gallery stretching is most often used, when the image continues at the ends of the picture on canvas.
4. At the final stage, all modules are varnished, which not only protects the surface from damage and external influences, but also makes the image deeper and more expressive.

In some cases, the canvases additionally undergo manual processing: the artist paints a picture with a brush, using art gel instead of paint. Such processing makes the picture even more spectacular: it creates the impression that it is painted in oil. This option is in high demand among buyers of paintings for the interior.
