Art prints are a wonderful way to infuse personality into your space, whether you’re styling a home, office, or gifting a thouhtful piece to someone special. But when it comes to choosing between canvas and paper prints, many customers wonder: what’s the difference, and which one is right for me?
At Studio Artemist, we offer both options — thoughtfully curated and beautifully produced but here’s a breakdown to help you decide what suits your style, space, and budget best.
Canvas Prints: A Gallery-Style Finish
Why Choose Canvas?
Canvas prints are ideal if you're looking for a ready-to-hang, contemporary finish. The textured surface adds depth and enhances the artwork's visual appeal, making it look more like a painting. They're lightweight, durable, and don’t always require framing — perfect for a sleek, minimalist display.
Best For:
-
Large statement walls
-
Modern, gallery-style homes
-
Gifting high-end art pieces
-
Art that mimics painted textures (like abstracts or traditional Indian styles)

Paper prints are budget-friendly, perfect for flexible styling, and easily switchable. They offer crisp detail and a matte finish, ideal for framing under glass. Whether you’re building a gallery wall or refreshing your decor each season, paper prints are a practical choice with plenty of creative freedom.
Best For:
-
Small spaces or apartment living

Framed artwork with a polished look
