Framing Matters: Comparing Styles, Pros, and Cons for Your Artwork

Choosing the right frame for your artwork is very important. Matching a frame is related to the artwork itself and the design of the space in which it is placed while taking into account the artwork's style, preservation, and emphasis.


Framing with a zero line gives a modern look, and emphasizes the borders of the page as part of the composition, but may suffocate the artwork, harming the preservation of paintings on paper.


Framing with a Passepartout creates a separation from the glass, prevents the accumulation of moisture, helps preserve the painting, emphasizes the artwork, and gives a more professional and prestigious look. The addition of a passepartout will give a greater presence to small paintings.


A thin frame suits an elegant, modern, and minimalist look. A thick frame gives a luxurious and dramatic presence.


The attached image shows the same artwork - in seven different framings. Which one appeals to you the most? Feel free to share in the comments
