Since our know-how is in painting and not in 3D printing, we decided to look for a partner and found the perfect one in Custom Prototypes from Canada.Ī Toronto-based 3D printing service company, with extensive experience of more than two decades in different applications of 3D printing, Custom Prototypes holds the winner's title in AMUG technical competition 2016 for presenting a 3D printed piece of art work.īy combining forces, we let our best artist paint on top of a blanco 3D print by Custom Prototypes. We wanted to make a 3D reproduction which could give the experience of an oil painting. So in our opinion, this beautiful relievo does not give you the experience of a painting but it’s more like an excellent plastic poster with texture.Īnd there we had our challenge. A real painting smells like oil paint, and you can sense it is art. A real painting is alive as it is a piece of handcrafted by an artist that applied every single brushstroke. When you come closer you notice the difference between the relievos and the real painting.

The 3D reproduction we saw is not a painting.

That is of course a lot cheaper than the original, but still not affordable for many. A relievo of the ‘Blossoming Almond Tree’ costs 25.000 euro. The colors, detail, texture, brushstrokes from a distance, you could easily take these relievos for the real Van Gogh artworks and it was impressive, to say the least. A project by Fujifilm showed us the so-called relievos of 'Vase with 15 Sunflowers' and the 'Blossoming Almond Tree.' We found the top of the bill 3D print at the Van Gogh Museum. The first task was to search the current market for 3D Van Gogh reproductions. That gave us a very interesting discovery. Inspired by 3D Printing technology developments, we decided to discover possibilities that 3D could offer us and help us deliver better results to our customers. Van Gogh Studio produces affordable hand-painted reproductions that look just like the original paintings by the great Vincent Van Gogh.
