Aluminum paintings

Why aluminum paintings are an excellent choice

Aluminum creates modern, clean accents and is surprisingly practical. Alu-Dibond consists of two thin aluminum layers with a plastic core, making it dimensionally stable, lightweight, and durable. The direct print ensures high detail and rich colors with an elegant, mostly matte look without reflections. Handcrafted aluminum paintings are refined by grinding and polishing, creating a fascinating play of light, depth, and movement. Both variants are resistant to temperature fluctuations, UV-stable, and easy to clean. Thanks to the low weight, even large formats can be mounted safely. Whether you choose urban art, nature motifs, abstract art, or photography—aluminum wall art underscores your style and fits living spaces as well as offices and representative areas. Square formats provide particularly calm, modern accents.

Handcrafted aluminum paintings or Alu-Dibond photo prints

At Eliassen you’ll find two premium versions, each with its own effect:

• Handcrafted aluminum paintings – Ground and polished by the artist, each piece is unique. Depending on the light, a dynamic 3D effect appears. Ideal as a standout eye-catcher in the living room, office, or hotel lobby. Low-maintenance for indoor use. If you prefer more relief and structure, our 3D metal paintings in 80×120 cm are a strong alternative.
• Alu-Dibond photo prints – Direct print on 3 mm Alu-Dibond, brilliant and detailed. UV- and moisture-resistant, therefore also suitable for kitchen, bathroom, and covered outdoor areas. Lightweight, dimensionally stable, and available in many motifs up to XXL. Discover, for example, our Dibond aluminum paintings.

Sizes up to XXL

Bring your motif to life in the right format: square, landscape, portrait, or panorama. Many works are available in common sizes such as 80×80 cm, 120×80 cm, and 160×80 cm; selected motifs even in XXL up to around 200×150 cm. Thanks to the high dimensional stability of aluminum, large formats also remain flat on the wall. This lets you create impressive focal points in spacious rooms, hallways, or entrances without sacrificing easy installation. A striking example in large format is ‘Tree in the Night’ 80×160 cm; expressive nature or city motifs also have extra impact in XXL.

Applications in residential and business spaces

Aluminum paintings are versatile and robust enough for demanding environments. Here’s how to make the most of them:

• Living room and hallway – Set clear accents with urban art, nature, or abstract motifs. Large formats create depth and calm. For bigger wall areas, a multi-panel aluminum set is ideal; an example is the five-piece ‘Fantasy Tree’ 60×150 cm.
• Office and meeting rooms – Professional, modern look with easy-to-clean surfaces; ideal for representative walls.
• Kitchen and bathroom – Alu-Dibond is moisture-resistant, splash-proof, and easy to clean. Perfect for areas with steam or grease. Popular motifs can be found from well-known brands.
• Covered outdoor area – Alu-Dibond can also be used on a terrace, balcony, or veranda when protected from direct rain.

Installation and maintenance

Thanks to the low weight, aluminum paintings are quick to install and are often delivered ready to hang. With two suitable screws and plugs you can fix them securely to concrete, brick, or plasterboard. Clean the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive agents or hard sponges. For outdoor use: hang only in covered areas and avoid direct exposure to the elements.

FAQ about aluminum paintings

What is Alu-Dibond and how thick is the panel?

Alu-Dibond is a sandwich material with two thin aluminum layers and a plastic core. It is especially dimensionally stable, lightweight, and durable. At Eliassen we generally use 3 mm panels, offering an excellent balance of stability, weight, and premium appearance.

What is the difference between handcrafted aluminum paintings and photo prints?

Handcrafted works are refined by grinding and polishing the aluminum. They look lively and change their depth depending on the light. Photo prints on Alu-Dibond deliver ultra-clear, color-intense images with matte elegance. Both variants are robust but differ in feel and visual effect.

Are aluminum paintings suitable for the kitchen and bathroom?

Yes, Alu-Dibond is moisture-resistant and easy to clean—ideal for kitchen and bathroom. Ensure sufficient ventilation, avoid prolonged direct water contact, and clean splashes promptly. We recommend using handcrafted aluminum paintings mainly in dry indoor spaces.

Can I hang an aluminum painting outdoors?

Alu-Dibond works well in covered outdoor areas because it is UV- and moisture-resistant. Avoid direct exposure to rain, snow, or persistent damp. Provide a sturdy mounting that accounts for wind loads. Handcrafted aluminum paintings are best used indoors.

How do I hang an aluminum painting safely and how do I maintain it?

Many works come ready to hang and are simply placed on two screws. Use suitable wall plugs for your wall type. For maintenance, a soft, non-abrasive cloth is sufficient, if needed with a mild cleaner. Do not use aggressive chemicals or scouring pads to protect the surface.
