Description
The term “canvas art” can refer to two things:
-
Canvas paintings: These are original artworks created with paint on a stretched canvas. Canvas has been a popular surface for artists for centuries, known for its durability and ability to hold a variety of paints. Famous examples of canvas art include the works of Vincent Van Gogh, Monet, da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, and countless others.
-
Canvas prints (which is what we do at Wallpaper Kenya): These are reproductions of existing artwork, photographs, or designs printed onto canvas material. They are a more affordable way to own a piece of art or add a decorative touch to your home.
Here’s a breakdown of how each is done and used:
Canvas Paintings
It is done by: Artists applying paint (oil, acrylic, etc.) with brushes, palette knives, or other tools.
Process: The artist may prime the canvas with gesso before painting to create a smooth surface. They then use their chosen techniques and styles to create the artwork.
Uses: Canvas paintings are displayed in galleries, museums, homes, and other settings.
They can be valuable works of art or personal creations for enjoyment.

Process: The image is mirrored onto a canvas material using high-quality inks. The canvas art is then affixed on the wall as a mural.

Advantages of canvas art prints versus canvas paintings
Here’s why canvas prints might be a better choice for you compared to canvas paintings:
Affordability
Canvas prints are significantly cheaper than original paintings. This allows you to enjoy a large piece of art or a famous work without breaking the bank.
Variety and Accessibility
You have a much wider selection of images and designs available in canvas prints.
You can find anything from classic paintings to pop culture references or even your photographs.
Versatility and Customization
Canvas prints come in any size, making them suitable for any space on your wall. They also don’t require a frame, offering a more modern and streamlined look. Wallpaper Kenya even allows you to customize the print with text or effects.
Durability
High-quality canvas prints are made with UV-resistant inks and can last for many years with proper care. They are also less susceptible to tears or punctures than traditional paper prints.
Easy Maintenance
Canvas prints are generally easier to clean than original paintings. Dusting with a dry cloth is usually sufficient, and they don’t require special handling or treatment.
Less Risk
If you’re worried about damaging a valuable piece of art, canvas prints offer peace of mind. They are more replaceable and withstand everyday wear and tear better.
However, canvas prints lack the one-of-a-kind quality and potential value increase of an original canvas painting. They also won’t offer the same level of texture or brushstroke detail.
Their other advantages:
- No harmful binders in the composition;
- Resistance to biological processes, resistance to rotting and aging;
- Resistance to aggressive environments;
- Long service life.
Silk canvas art is universal, has a range of applications, and is easy to transport, store, and install.
Here are some things to consider where a canvas painting might be preferable:
- Investment: Original paintings can be appreciated over time, making them a good investment.
- Uniqueness: You own a one-of-a-kind piece of art with an original painting, whereas prints are reproductions.
- Supporting Artists: Buying an original painting directly supports the artist who created it.
- Textured Beauty: Brushstrokes and paint textures add a unique dimension to an original painting that is difficult to replicate with a print.
Ultimately, the choice depends on your priorities and budget. A canvas print is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable, versatile, and easy way to decorate your home. But if you value artistic expression, investment potential, and supporting artists, then an original canvas painting might be the better choice.
