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 characterizes the "410 EggShell" surface texture?
The 410 designation identifies the EggShell texture, which provides a subtle tooth for oil painters, in contrast to the non-textured "Smooth" (411) version
. This surface features professional Rublev lead white oil priming applied to a two-sided aluminum composite panel, specifically engineered for classical oil painting and traditional techniques
.
Why is the 6mm HoneyComb core beneficial for a 20x24" size?
While standard panels are 3mm, the 6mm HoneyComb technology is used to provide an "unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio"
. This construction makes the 20x24" panel "exceptionally lightweight yet sturdy," ensuring it remains warp-resistant and super rigid with no flex or movement while you work
.
How does the ACM core protect my painting better than wood or canvas?
Stretched canvas and wood are "susceptible to puncture, tearing and distortion"
. The Oleopanel's aluminum composite material (ACM) core consists of two aluminum sheets bonded to a solid polyethylene center, creating a support that "never sags or cracks" and has a "very low response to environmental changes" like humidity and temperature
Is this panel compatible with acrylic or mixed media techniques?
No, the Oleopanel is professionally engineered specifically for oil painting
. The lead oil priming is "primed to perfection" to support the richness of oil paints and preserve the integrity of every paint layer over time
. For media involving water, such as acrylic or watercolor, the universally primed Tempanel (450) is the recommended archival choice
.
How can I document the archival history of my work on this panel?
Every Artefex panel is hand-finished to museum quality and includes a materials log on the back
. This allows both the artist and future collectors to permanently track the specific pigments, varnishes, and dates associated with the painting, which is a vital part of preserving your creative legacy for upcoming generations
