Yes, a canvas can apply to texts, or even a chess game, presumably - thanks.

Normally, as has been suggested, it would apply to a painting with a
mystical subject/atmosphere. Sometimes, the word "canvas" can be applied to
texts, and I am not sure the same meaning carries over into the English
"canvas," or does it? I was curious and did a Yandex search on the phrase
and came up with a lovely "vpletaet v polotno rasskaza."
