Our story
CoBrA signalled a complete breakthrough in modern art that continues to influence different art styles and forms to this day. We want to carry on this token of revolution and change by stirring up the art world once more with our line of water-mixable oil paint. Cobra oil paints are professional oil colours with the same viscosity and high-quality pigments you know and love from traditional oil paints, but without having to use harmful solvents. The paints can be mixed and cleaned with water so your workspace can now be free of harsh-smelling turpentine or white spirit. With Cobra oil paint, art academies and legislation that are removing solvents from their classrooms due to health concerns can continue to teach their students the art of oil painting, without compromising their health or environment. This allows us to convey the art of oil painting to future generations, thereby preserving an important part of our cultural heritage. We are proudly claiming a solvent-free future.
The vision of Cobra
We believe in the value of oil painting as an art form and we feel it is important to preserve this painting technique and vital part of our cultural heritage. But we also think that the art of oil painting should not be prioritised over the health of artists and the environment. This is why we are devoted to creating a premium-quality oil paint that makes the use of harmful solvents, such as turpentine or white spirit, a thing of the past! We are the new generation of oil paint.
The mission of Cobra
Our mission is to enable artists to paint with oil colours, freely and without health concerns, without any restrictions or concessions in quality. Another important part of our mission is to allow art academies to keep working with oil paint to ensure the continuation of the art of oil painting for future generations. We are proudly claiming a solvent-free future!
