The Alchemist Sanctuary Collection
The Alchemist Sanctuary art collection is personally curated and sourced from abandoned archives, forgotten collections, and the ancestral paths of art history. These pieces have been digitally revived with care to reflect their original tone and quiet power. Many are over a century old, carrying visible marks of age that connect us to the moment they were first created. Each print is a tribute — not only to the enduring beauty of the work itself, but to the many unknown artists who shaped it from the vision they held within.
Printing Process & Materials
Each artwork in this collection has been printed, held, and reviewed — not just on screen, but in hand. After exploring a range of papers, we chose museum-quality matte stock for its quiet depth and timeless texture. It supports the soul of these archival pieces: soft, aged, imperfect, and alive. Printing is done on demand to avoid waste — a conscious step, aligned with the care given to each piece. What you receive is the result of many considered decisions — and if anything falls short, we’re here to make it right.
Framing & Display
Framing is part of the story — choose one that resonates with the artwork’s energy. Look to second-hand shops, flea markets, or even your family attic. Whether placed in a meditation corner or a thoughtfully styled interior, this is art that carries presence and intention — a soulful companion, not just decoration.
Ongoing Curation
Please note: some artwork descriptions are still being developed as we continue to explore, research, and document the full depth of our expanding archive.
Production Time
Each print is made to order. Please allow 2–4 business days for production before shipping. While most orders are produced within this window, occasional delays may occur—for example, if certain sustainable materials are temporarily unavailable. If you are planning to gift this item or need it by a specific date, we strongly recommend ordering well in advance to avoid any potential delays.
Free Global Shipment
Estimated shipment arrival in 7–10 business days. Once your order has shipped, a tracking link will be emailed to you through our store system. This allows you to follow your delivery in real time. Please note that while we aim to meet these timelines, external factors such as customs clearance, local carrier delays, severe weather, or natural events may occasionally affect delivery schedules.
Framing Notice
The artwork is unframed and shipped rolled in a protective tube. Frames are not included. We encourage using second-hand frames to reduce environmental impact.
Secure Checkout
We accept all major payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and PayPal. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also available on supported devices and browsers. You’ll see these options automatically during checkout — no extra setup or search needed.
Sustainability Note
Our prints are produced locally and on-demand, reducing emissions and eliminating waste. Our global print partners fulfill around 90% of orders within the customer’s region using FSC®-certified paper or regional equivalents. Packaging includes recycled materials where available and is moving toward fully recycled solutions. This process reduces carbon emissions and avoids overproduction.
