Modular or segmented paintings are a kind of canvases in which the picture is divided into several parts-modules. At the same time, the size, shape and number of segments are not regulated. Almost any painting can be bought, made to order or made with your own hands in the performance you need.

If you decide to make a segmented picture for the kitchen with your own hands, you will need:
- fabric with an expressive print, an image printed on a printer, or photo wallpaper;
- wood slats and plywood/fibreboard/styrofoam ceiling tiles;
- PVA glue;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- roulette;
- furniture stapler.
The manufacturing process is incredibly simple:
- The location of the future modular image is selected, the desired size of the segments is determined.
- From the rails, frames are assembled that will become the basis for a modular picture. To do this, the ends of the rails are sawn at angles of 45 degrees and glued or stapled together. To increase the strength, small triangular pieces of plywood are attached to the corners of the frame. If pieces of fiberboard are used as the basis, they simply need to be processed around the perimeter.
- The fabric is cut into pieces, which should be slightly larger than the stretchers, taking into account the bend on the wrong side, stretched so that there are no folds on it, and fixed with a stapler. Images printed on paper can simply be glued onto fiberboard, plywood, or Styrofoam ceiling tiles.
If you have artistic talent, you can use a canvas, on which, after being fixed on stretchers, you can depict whatever you want.
