How is the printing quality in your art fairs?For our art fairs, we use premium matte finish linen canvases with a weight of 410g/m². This acid-free and pH neutral canvas ensures longevity, and will resist yellowing and degradation over time. When combined with giclée printing, it can produce museum-quality prints that are durable and visually stunning. Giclée printing is a popular method for fine art prints due to its ability to produce vibrant colors and sharp details. It uses fade-resistant, archival inks and can render deep blacks and a wide color spectrum to create the best texture and depth for high-resolution fine art prints. Our team can also provide additional services like custom framing and ensure that the color pigmentation of your artwork matches the original as closely as possible.

Do you have artwork sales during your art shows?Most of our art shows include the opportunity to purchase featured artworks. The sale of artworks stands as a central function of our gallery. During the exhibition, we take on the role of representing both the artworks and the artists in person, providing comprehensive information to interested parties. Our sales process occurs through direct interaction with the artists and is conducted professionally. After an offer is accepted during an event, we facilitate the transaction by providing the buyer with the artist's bank account information. Once the artist confirms receipt of payment, we share the buyer's shipping address with the artist. Throughout the event periods, Luna Grande Art does not take any commission from the sales of artworks. For transactions that occur outside the exhibition or fair periods, our gallery assumes the responsibility of managing the money transfer and applies a 25% commission fee for this service. For physical artworks owned by the artist, we request that the artist arranges the shipping to the buyer. On the other hand, if prints or copies held in our gallery are sold, we manage the shipping process on behalf of the artist. In both cases, since the sales transactions are conducted through our company, the buyer will be responsible for shipping costs and a 20% value-added tax. Additionally, if the parties wish to formalize the sale with a contract, we facilitate communication and negotiations to ensure a smooth and secure transaction. Our main focus is on selling the originals and reproductions of your artworks, and we can adapt according to your preferences and permissions. More information regarding intellectual property rights can be found in our exhibition contract.

How is your printing quality and which materials do you use?Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta: Combines the purity of a cotton rag paper with the luster of a baryta coating, providing exceptional image sharpness and color density. We provide the Hahnemühle Fine Art Giclée prints with a white 1 cm border as standard. The result is that your photo print is 2 cm longer and wider. Not only does this give the work a luxurious appearance, but it also adds an extra layer of protection to fragile prints. The white border makes it easier to frame your photo without losing part of the image behind the frame or passe-partout. On top of that, the contrast with the white border makes your photo stand out even more and turns it into a true showstopper! Regarding Forex for Fine Art: Forex is a brand name for PVC foam board, which is a lightweight and robust material suitable for mounting prints and for use in exhibitions. It's known for its smooth, matte surface and is also water-resistant, making it a good choice for various display settings. We offer a Direct Print On Forex service that prints artworks directly onto this material, ensuring high saturation and detail with a glare-free surface. This makes it an excellent option for artists looking to display their work professionally. Are you seeking a lightweight material for your artworks? Then choose direct prints on forex. We print directly on 5 mm forex, which gives your artwork a superb matte finish. Just great for your wall at home, too! Museum Quality Prints, Expansive Look & Feel: We use premium matte finish linen canvases with a weight of 410g/m². This acid-free and pH neutral canvas ensures longevity, and will resist yellowing and degradation over time.
