Puzzles made from real contemporary art

From our co-founder:

The idea for Lininus Puzzles began during the pandemic. I was doing a lot of puzzles in those days. I was at work on a puzzle of an impressionist painting and I realized how well I was getting to know the artist's different brushstrokes and colors. The idea struck me, wouldn't it be cool to learn about current artists in this same way? After all, I wanted to know more about contemporary art. I had also recently seen someone mention that you should support living artists, the dead ones don't need money.

And because I'm a puzzler myself, I have strong opinions about what makes a good puzzle. I can't stand glare or false fits. I love vibrant colors. I really like a satisfying soft touch finish. I also appreciate a nice poster inside the box. I was also thinking we could add more information about the artist and examples of other pieces of their art on the box. All these things seemed doable.

And here we are, Lininus Puzzles exists. Please be sure to check back soon for new collaborations and artists.
