What we do
Founded in 2014 by Anton and his family, Artefex began because artists needed a stronger, longer-lasting surface than wood or stretched canvas. This short film shows our workshop and explains why aluminum composite panels preserve paintings for generations. Every panel ships with a materials log on the back so artists and collectors can track pigments, varnishes and dates. Watch to see how we hand finish each board to museum quality so your best work lasts for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What does the "410 Eggshell" designation mean?
The 410 refers to the specific texture of the finish. This panel features a professional Rublev lead white oil priming that provides a slightly textured "Eggshell" tooth, unlike the 411 option which is completely smooth
. This makes it an ideal surface for artists who want a traditional lead ground but prefer a bit of grip for their brushwork.
Why should I choose the 6mm core for a 20x30" panel?
The 6mm thickness utilizes Artefex's HoneyComb panel technology
. For a larger format like 20x30", standard solid panels can become heavy. The 6mm Honeycomb core offers an "unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio," making the panel "exceptionally lightweight yet sturdy"
. It provides maximum structural stability for professional artists without the excess weight
Is this panel suitable for acrylic or tempera painting?
No, the Oleopanel is specifically engineered for "Classical Oil Painting"
. The surface is prepared with a traditional lead white oil ground that is chemically formulated to support the richness, layering, and archival integrity of oil paints
. For water-based mediums like acrylic or tempera, you would need a universally primed option like the Tempanel or an acrylic-primed Alcotpanel
How is the Oleopanel constructed?
The foundation is a rigid aluminum composite material (ACM)
. It is constructed using two strong aluminum sheets laminated to both sides of the core (which is a lightweight Honeycomb in the 6mm version)
. The professional Rublev lead white oil priming is then applied directly to this extremely durable, two-sided metal structure
.
Will a 20x30" Oleopanel warp or bend over time?
No. A primary advantage of Artefex's aluminum construction is that it is completely "warp-resistant"
. Unlike stretched canvas or wood, which respond to environmental changes and humidity, this panel provides "exceptional stability and durability"
. It is "super rigid," ensuring absolutely no flex or movement during use, meaning your artwork will "never sag or crack" over generations
