An immersive 3D virtual art gallery of Vancouver 2026 paintings by Pius — original acrylics on canvas celebrating the city's host-city summer. Walk the room and explore each work in detail.
The Vancouver 2026 Collection brings together twenty-seven original acrylic paintings of the city’s host-city summer — fan zones, match-day crowds around BC Place, harbour celebrations and quiet corners of the seawall. Every work in this room is the digital format of a physical original held in Vancouver.
Prestige Art Gallery is an immersive online gallery presenting the Vancouver 2026 Collection — twenty-seven original acrylic paintings by Vancouver artist Pius. Instead of scrolling a flat grid, you walk a 3D room and meet each painting at full scale, then open any work for the full story behind it.
Are these real paintings?
