About this original palette knife painting

Every mark on this canvas was laid with a palette knife, in broad decisive strokes that a brush cannot match. The result is a surface of clean planes and sharp ridges, each one a commitment left visible.

There is a great deal of intentional space in the composition, the negative area that lets the marks read as art rather than pattern.

Where Drifting Fragment II belongs

A hotel & hospitality is the natural home for a canvas like this, though it travels happily to any wall with the space to let it breathe.

This triptych canvas measures 3 panels, 53 x 53 cm each (160 x 53 cm overall), a considered scale for hotel & hospitality walls and any interior with room to let a single piece of large canvas art breathe. As black and white abstract art it introduces no colour to clash with a changing scheme, which is part of what makes monochrome wall decor so durable.

Materials, finish and care

Built on cotton canvas with a satin finish, the piece is stretched, corner-finished and ready to hang straight from the box.

Every painting we sell is an original, signed by the artist and supplied with a certificate of authenticity. This one is no exception.

Caring for your canvas

Keep this original painting out of direct sunlight and damp, dust it gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid sprays or solvents on the surface. Treated well, gallery-quality canvas wall art like this holds its crisp monochrome contrast for decades. Every piece is hand-painted in our Budapest studio and shipped ready to hang, worldwide.

Format, finish and provenance

As original oil painting, this piece is a satin finish painting, an archival quality art surface on uv resistant canvas that stays true for decades. In format it is triptych wall art and multi panel art, and it ships as gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang art with framed canvas art neatness on every edge. It is huge abstract canvas work built for scale. Bought as gallery direct art, straight from the artist, it is authentic signed art with a certificate of authenticity.

Questions about Drifting Fragment II

Is this an original painting or a print?
It is an original, one-of-a-kind painting, hand-finished by the artist and signed. There is exactly one of this work in existence, and it is supplied with a certificate of authenticity that ties it to the title, size and date of creation. We do not sell prints or reproductions of our original canvases.
Can I see the painting before I buy?
We are always happy to send additional photographs or a short video of a piece in natural light, and to answer any question about surface, tone or scale. For serious enquiries within reach of Budapest, viewing by appointment can also be arranged. Just get in touch and we will help you decide with confidence.
Can I commission a similar piece in a different size?
Often, yes. Many works can be revisited as a commission in a size made for your wall, worked in the same technique and monochrome palette. Because each canvas is hand-painted the new piece will be its own original rather than a copy. Contact us with your wall dimensions and we will discuss what is possible.
Is a certificate of authenticity included?
Yes. Every original painting ships with a signed certificate of authenticity recording the title, dimensions, medium and year. It establishes provenance, which matters if you ever insure, resell or pass the work on, and we recommend storing it as carefully as the painting itself.
