Eager to master the skills of historical painters, Pepijn chose ARTIFICIUM as the title of his website-to-be. It is a Latin noun that translates to art, craft, skill, trade or craftmenship. ARTIFICIUM is formed by combining the Latin words ars (meaning art or skill) and facere (meaning to make or to do).

The meaning of the word ARTIFICIUM covers several distinct but related categories:

1. Skill and craftmenship
   At its core, artrificium refers ta a profession, trade or the manual skill required to produce something. It describes the practical application of human talent.

2. Art and creative work
   It refers to actual artwork, the creation of a physical piece or a craft that requires aesthetic and technical proficiency.

3. As a more abstract definition, artificium can refer to a technique , a specific method of doimg something, or a clever device.
