Creation and Reproduction

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_toggle title=”Are the paintings hand-painted?”]

All of our painting reproductions are hand-painted by one of our three master artists at Master Apollon®, each with over 30 years of experience. Find more information about our Master Apollon artists on this page.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the quality level of your reproductions?”]

At Master Apollon®, we pride ourselves on the highest quality standards for our reproductions. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in every piece we create. We use top-grade materials and advanced techniques to ensure that each reproduction captures the intricate details, textures, and depth of the original artwork. Each piece undergoes a meticulous process to achieve remarkable accuracy and fidelity, resulting in reproductions that not only reflect the essence of the masterpieces but also offer an authentic and captivating visual experience.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the difference between your art reproductions and those of your competitors?”]

At Master Apollon, the difference lies in our exclusive commitment to extreme quality. Unlike our competitors, we stand out with a meticulous and sophisticated approach to each art reproduction.

Our process uses the sulfato technique, where we apply up to 10 layers of paint, each carefully allowed to dry before the next application. This unique method recreates depth and texture with exceptional fidelity, capturing the subtlest nuances and details of the original works.

We prioritize the highest quality materials and employ skilled artisans who pour their expertise and passion into every piece. Our reproductions not only imitate the original works but elevate them by offering unparalleled beauty and authenticity.

Thus, Master Apollon distinguishes itself through its constant pursuit of excellence and dedication to providing reproductions that exceed conventional standards, ensuring a quality and elegance that truly enrich every space.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Do your painting reproductions have value?”]

Yes, each reproduction of our paintings has distinct value. Every piece is signed with the Master Apollon® mark, which guarantees its origin and exceptional quality. Additionally, each canvas comes with a unique authenticity number, and a paper certificate of authenticity is also provided. These elements not only confirm the authenticity of the reproduction but also add extra value as a collectible item.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the creation time frame?”]

  • For a 100×150 cm painting, expect about 4 weeks.
  • For a 150×225 cm painting, allow around 7 weeks.
  • For a 190×285 cm painting, the time extends to 10 weeks.

For More Complex Paintings:

Works featuring more than five figures and intricate details require additional time due to their complexity and the precision needed. Estimated time frames are as follows:

  • For a 70×105 cm painting, the creation time is around 1 month.
  • For a 100×150 cm painting, expect about 2 months.
  • For a 150×225 cm painting, allow up to 3.5 months.
  • For a 190×285 cm painting, the time extends to 5 months.
