When an art has the ability to lighten up spaces and smiles, why restrict it to just one original piece? Instead, the practice of reproducing the original in the form of prints in collaboration with the original artist can enrich multiple spaces and lives.
While original art is of great value, art prints are more accessible by all and carry the essence of an original art when multiplied. It’s no secret that navigating between different types of art can be overwhelming. Deciphering the process of an artwork, its medium, material, and symbolism—can often divert you away from the art. But, as long as you hold on to this guide, you need not worry as we unveil the story and reality of art prints being beneficial for artists and buyers.
Let’s start with the basics—what is original fine art?
Created by an artist by hand, original fine art is a one-of-a-kind product of creativity and raw ideas. Its monetary value is dictated by the market and reputational value is guided by the artist’s body of work.
An art print on the other hand is a high-quality image representation of an original artwork, printed onto a new material like paper or canvas. At Espravo, we want everyone to have access to art in their space. This is where art prints offer a more friendly option for art lovers.
While original artwork is viable in terms of long-term investment value, art prints also hold the potential to benefit buyers. Read on to find out how.
Unparalleled Selection
As leading artists across the globe offer prints of their artwork, art lovers are enabled to explore newfound creative horizons. Opening up a world of unparalleled selection of artworks that suit all budgets, styles, and spaces—art prints expand their base to reach a wider audience. At Espravo, we use technology to exhibit an expansive selection of art prints in a variety of design aesthetics and styles, helping you find the art you’ll adore.
Ability to Customize
In a situation where you set your eyes on a specific original art that complements your space but its size isn’t suitable, art prints can be made to a custom size, such that they’ll embellish the space as desired. Prints allow for reproductions in various sizes and mediums, presenting more options for potential buyers. Our customisation feature offers users to order their favourite artwork in various sizes. Additionally, you could get it printed on a canvas or paper and get it framed in a diverse manner.

Availability
Imagine that an original piece of art has carved its impression on you but it is either sold or beyond your budget. What will you do? Turning to a fine print of the original, if made available by the artist is a great solution and usually, significantly less in cost. It retains its authentic nature coming from the same source, with variation in the medium.
Exceptional Quality Prints
Never sacrifice on quality! Resonating with that principle, we work closely with the original artist to prepare a fine art print. This ensures that a high quality reproduction of the original artwork is achieved. Our art prints are made on specially coated fabric canvases or special grade papers and the image transfer takes place through thermal inks. They are of exceptional quality, with a long life under proper display conditions.

Make Great Gifts
Affordable than the original pieces, making them popular for special occasions—art prints make great gifts. The value of a gift is priceless! Art prints are special when gifted and do not come with a baggage of huge responsibility of being stolen or maintained like an original artwork. They work as a symbol of fond memory and association.
Supporting Artists
By buying a licensed art print, you are supporting artists. At Espravo, we produce art prints that are licensed and secured by an agreement with the artist. Each sale benefits the artist in the form of royalties.
Dealing with art prints isn’t a one way street. It not just benefits the buyers but also works positively for the artists. Here are some ways.
Opens up a Broader Audience
Offering art prints opens up the work of an artist to a broader audience, widening the reach. Creatives might argue that it’s a bad thing as it makes art more generic and less exquisite and limited. However, we believe that original artwork preserves the rarity of art, prints only make it more accessible. Indulging in one cannot take away from the other, especially when art prints are customised to request and not mass produced.
Commission Opportunities
It can be a valuable strategy for artists looking to expand their operations, potentially attracting interest in original pieces or commission opportunities from buyers.
Consistent Revenue Stream
Art Prints ensure a more consistent revenue stream for artists so they can continue to create hassle-free! Making an original artwork requires a lot of effort, time, commitment, resources, patience, consistency, and emotional investment. Offering prints of the work helps artists to become financially independent as they can replicate their hard work and earn royalties from each print of their work sold.
Create More
Sometimes art prints also act as a catalyst for artists to produce more art. The quick benefits of this medium can inspire them to keep creating efficiently. As long as the thin line between art creation and money-mindedness isn’t blurred in an artist’s mind—they can hop from one art to the other or produce versions/series of a similar theme, have a continuation of a former art, or take cues from the most sold prints to alter their process.
Undoubtedly both original paintings and art prints are a fantastic way to attract beauty, joy and originality into your home. As a matter of fact, many buyers are of the opinion that art prints are a feasible way to own art. Because of their rising quality and affordable prices, buyers are drawn to art prints.
