What kind of paintings I can buy from PaintingMax?
As the largest handmade painting provider in China, PaintingMax offers both fine art reproductions and original oil paintings. Reproduction paintings from PaintingMax are 100% handmade recreations of paintings. Original oil paintings on our web site are an impressive collection of artworks from highly talented artists. Each original oil painting is individually reviewed and selected by an experienced team of professionals and is signed by the artist.

How do you make your art reproductions?
Our art reproductions are handmade with oils on canvas of high quality. In our team of painters, each one is a past master in his particular field and this gives us the opportunity to reproduce to the limit of perfection the style and the technique of every original old and modern master. Of course we have acquired these abilities for a long educational and creative period and this is the reason why our handmade art reproductions express the human element, the spirit and the sense of the Great Masters.

Does the art reproduction look exactly like the original?
At PaintingMax, the reproductions are made by hand. We examine the works that we acquire very carefully. We make sure that our reproductions contain the same brushstrokes and techniques used by our original artists. However, since the paintings are made by hand and are not computer generated, there is always a slight variation between the reproduction and the original.

Are your paintings framed?
All paintings shipped from us are NOT framed. There are three basic reasons for not framing the paintings. Every house, office etc. has its different style and design and the frame of the painting has to go well with the whole interior so you will be the one who will make the best choice for it. There are frame workshops all over the world and you will be advised and helped there in selecting the frame mostly suiting to your needs. The second reason is related with the post expenses of a framed painting. Most companies selling art reproductions do not transport them framed because of the high expense for post taxes which sometimes exceed the basic price of the art reproductions. The next reason - safety. Our experience shows that framed paintings have a high risk of damage than un-framed paintings.

Does the art reproduction look exactly like the pictures on your web site?
The pictures on this website are of the paintings that we own or pre-owned. However, you must take into account that the view of your computer screen can cause a slight distortion of the colors. Also when we receive more than one unit of the same painting there is always a small difference between each of them. The oil paintings on PaintingMax.com are handmade and therefore some variation is always a possibility.
