Production Quality

The same artwork, two physical finishes.

Studio and Museum use the same Auvart artwork, proof and approval process. The difference is how your approved piece is physically produced.

01 / STUDIO

Studio Quality

Refined physical presentation

  • The same Auvart artwork and proof process
  • Professional production standard matched to the selected format
  • Made to order

The artwork or approval process is not reduced or simplified.

02 / AUVART SIGNATURE

Museum Quality

Flagship physical presentation

  • The same Auvart artwork and proof process
  • Premium substrate or construction matched to the selected format

The distinction is physical production, not a different level of artwork.

Exact material, construction and available sizes are shown on the product page for the format you select.

Scale

Find the fit.

Choose a square, portrait, or landscape format to suit your wall. If the room is hard to judge, start with a simple wall photo before you choose a size.

Square
Portrait
Landscape

20 × 20 in / approximately 50 × 50 cm

Shown to scale above a 96 in (244 cm) sofa, hung 8 in above the sofa back. Metric sizes are rounded labels. Frame borders are not included. Available sizes depend on your chosen format and quality.

Made to orderFree shipping to the US, Canada and Australia. Proof within 2 business days.
Hanging heightHang the piece so its center sits about 57 in (145 cm) from the floor, then adjust for furniture and ceiling height.
Need help choosing?A quick wall photo with a sofa, bed, or console in frame usually makes the scale decision clearer.
Origin

The same star, another light.

Auvart was born from Minelauvart, named after δ Virginis, the red giant the IAU formally registered as Minelauva in 2017. Two hundred light years away in Virgo, it sits within the asterism Arab astronomers once called Al ʼAwwāʼ. That distant light became a simple principle: make the artwork compelling on its own, then let the private memory reveal itself gradually.

OUR PROMISE
The Promise

The Minelauvart promise.

Careful materials, made-to-order production, and a finish designed for long-term display.

Made for the Wall

Built for a refined wall presence, with material and finishing choices considered for the selected format.

Durable Color

Professional printing selected for depth, texture, and lasting display life.

Made to Order

No mass stock. Each piece is produced around one specific memory and one set of instructions.

Sized for Your Space

Size, proportion, and finishing are considered before print so the piece feels intentional in the room.

Practical Questions

The clear answers.

A few practical answers before a private photograph becomes a finished piece.

What do I need to send to start?

A photograph and your preferred size.

What photo works best?

Clear, high-resolution portraits or landscapes with good lighting work best. Avoid blurry, heavily filtered, or very dark photos, and skip screenshots, as a weak source image weakens the hidden-memory effect.

Can I see a preview before printing?

Yes. Every commission includes a digital proof so you can approve the hidden effect before production begins. One revision is included.

How long does it take?

Your digital proof is ready within 2 business days of your order. After you approve it, production and free delivery take 7 to 12 business days in the US and Canada and about 10 to 15 in Australia, so most pieces arrive two to three weeks after ordering. For delivery before December 25, we recommend ordering by December 1.

Can I include a large group in the photo?

For the best hidden-memory effect, we recommend photos with one to three subjects. Large groups or busy backgrounds can make the hidden image harder to read once the artistic layer is applied. For four or five people, use our Bespoke Commission and upload individual portraits if available.

Do I have to use a photo?

No. While most pieces are built from a photograph, you can hide a name, initials, or a simple emblem instead. Simply upload it as your image file. For fully custom requests, see our Bespoke Commission.

How does the hidden image appear?

Up close, the piece reads as finished artwork. Step back, soften your focus, or briefly squint and the photograph becomes easier to see. The exact viewing distance varies with the image, style, and piece size.

Is every piece made to order?

Yes. Every piece is produced for one memory and one set of instructions, and nothing is kept in stock.

How do I choose the right size?

Start with the wall preview above. If the room scale is unclear, use a wall photo with a sofa, bed, or console in frame before choosing the final size.

What materials are used?

Available formats include Fine Art Print, Canvas, and Framed Canvas. Final material and framing details are shown on the product page before you order.

Can this work as a gift?

Yes, especially when the memory is personal and the reveal is part of the emotional impact.

What if my piece arrives damaged?

Email info@auvart.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the piece and its packaging. We will replace, repair or refund it.

Can I cancel or return my order?

You can cancel any time before production starts, and production starts only after you approve your digital proof. Because every piece is made to order from your photo, change-of-mind returns are not accepted once production has started.

Where do you ship?

We ship to addresses in the United States, Canada and Australia, and shipping is free. We are unable to ship to APO, FPO, or DPO military addresses.

Where is my art produced?

Every Auvart piece is produced to order by our print partners, in most cases in the country it ships to (the United States, Canada or Australia). Production starts only after you approve your digital proof.

Do you use AI?

Each piece is created through an artist-directed digital process. Our studio shapes the composition, the hidden image, and the final look, using modern generative tools as one instrument among several. Every piece is reviewed by a human before you see it, and nothing is printed until you approve it.

How can I pay?

Available payment methods are shown securely at checkout.
