Which material suits your artwork?
Your AI portrait is done and it looks fantastic on screen. But a screen isn't a wall. The material you print on determines how your artwork feels, how it catches light, and how much impact it makes in your interior. Here's our honest guide to choosing — no sales pitch, just straightforward advice.
Canvas: when it needs to feel like a painting
Canvas is the most popular material among our customers for good reason. The texture of the fabric gives your portrait something a smooth print simply can't: it feels like a real painting. Especially with royal portraits and renaissance styles, the effect is magical — as if an old master actually painted it.
Your canvas print comes stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang immediately. No frame needed, no fuss. The warm tones and organic texture work best in classic or cozy interiors.
Aluminium: for those who want it sleek and modern
If canvas is the warm choice, aluminium is the cool one. Colors are deeper and more vivid than on any other material. The glossy surface makes images appear almost three-dimensional — especially pop art styles and Delft Blue portraits look phenomenal on it.
Aluminium is practical too: it's waterproof, UV-resistant, and virtually indestructible. It floats about a centimeter off the wall thanks to the mounting system, giving it a modern, gallery-like appearance. Perfect for sleek interiors, offices, or even the bathroom.
Poster: surprisingly beautiful, surprisingly affordable
A poster might sound like the budget option, but don't underestimate it. Our posters are printed on heavy, premium paper with rich colors. The result is genuinely beautiful — especially when placed in a quality frame.
Posters are ideal when you want to combine multiple pieces into a gallery wall, when you're looking for a gift without paying top price, or when you simply want to test which style you like best before investing in canvas or aluminium.
Forex: the lightweight alternative
Living in a rental with thin walls? Looking for something for a large empty wall without needing heavy anchors? Forex is your friend. It's a sturdy but lightweight plastic board with a matte, clean finish.
It's not as tactile as canvas and not as glossy as aluminium, but it's a solid middle ground when you want a modern result without the weight. Many customers choose forex for offices or as seasonal decoration.
Still unsure? Our rule of thumb
A classic or royal portrait? Choose canvas — the texture enhances the style. A modern or colorful design? Go with aluminium — the colors practically leap off the wall. Want to try things out or combine multiple styles? Start with a poster.
And don't forget: we also offer prints on wood, plexiglass, and textile for those looking for something different. Browse all options in the shop.
