CANVAS
We use 310gsm polyester and cotton blend, acid free, long term use, water resistant superior canvas. We have worked with many different canvas manufacturers and found that this is the best canvas to use for high quality prints. We supply each canvas with an additional 2" border to allow for framing if required. The border can be easily removed with a craft knife if not desired. All canvas will have white borders on top & bottom or on left and right side of picture as this is necessary in
order for the print to be in proportion and to not to distort it's authentic proportions. Canvas comes unframed. Unfortunately we do not offer framing for now.
Buyer should not purchase a frame from local framer until print order has been received, because print sizes for each canvas may vary. There can be canvas prints where custom made frame is necessary due to nonstandard image proportions.
QUALITY
We use HQ materials, professional printers and high resolution files for printing, but please note that there may be instances where small text is illegible or there may be some blurring or pixelation on certain prints
Prints are printed with Mutoh ValueJet 2638 wide-format printer. Mutoh is Belgian printer manufacturer and this printer has been awarded as 'Product of the Year' in two categories at SGIA Expo in Las Vegas, US.

ABOUT
...Isn’t it amazing how Salvador Dali had this magician-like ability to galvanize our attention on so many levels! In this large, major religious canvas we are almost put in a trance by what’s going on – or what we think is going on – and by how Dali has rendered it so splendidly. Of course, the sheer size and, more importantly, the luminosity and sense of the miraculous in the work transfixes us as we contemplate this at once both beautiful and mysterious work of art.
We see the figure of Christ rising toward an energized, electrifying view of the heavens, guided by and guarded over, it would seem, not necessarily by God – although we might draw that inference overall – but indeed by the figure of Dali’s wife, Gala, peering out from the clouds. A symbol of the Holy Spirit is clearly intended by the dove below her chin, while Gala has been portrayed as Christ’s mother not only here, but in another monumental religious work by Dali: “Corpus Hypercubus” (“Crucifixion”) of 1954. Interestingly, “Ascension of Christ” is subtitled, “Pieta.”
But Dali – master of illusion and of manipulating space and time – throws us off some by the oddly juxtaposed perspectives and points of view in “Ascension.” The Christ figure is seen emerging either backwards or upwards – we don’t know. Meanwhile, it’s less than clear just what plain Gala would be standing on in relation to the angle of the rising Christ. What’s more, we have a more normal and natural field of vision in the landscape shown at the bottom, below the large yellow circle, further confounding our perspective here.
And just what is that brilliant golden sphere? Is it a splitting atom or human cell? Is it the sun? Does it represent the circle of life? Could it be a sea urchin? What we do know is that directly behind the ascending Christ figure are the florets of a sunflower – a natural design by which Dali was intrigued, because its continuous circular pattern follows the laws of a logarithmic spiral – a naturally occurring phenomenon he also found in the horn of a rhinoceros and the morphology of a cauliflower.
The foreshortened view of Christ (whose apparently soiled feet would surely symbolize Christ’s many pilgrimages by foot) was achieved via a glass floor Dali had specially installed in his studio in Port Lligat, Spain, on which he’d position models for various effects....
