Commission a piece

A note on how I work

Each piece is an artistic interpretation, made in my own style and vision — not a faithful copy of the photograph. I listen carefully to your ideas and wishes and take them into account along the way, but the final result carries my signature as an artist. When you commission a piece, you accept and value this very approach.

How to commission a piece

From the form to the finished piece in your hands.

I

Fill in the form

Everything begins here. The more you tell me at the start, the sooner we understand each other and the better I can prepare your piece. It only takes a few minutes.

Go to the form ↓

Prefer to write to me? You can find me on Facebook.

What it helps to have ready

  • Medium and size. The price estimate appears automatically in the form as you choose.
  • The subject. For portraits: how many people, how much should show (face, bust, hands) and what background you would like.
  • Reference photos. Up to 3, clear, in natural light, with the face well visible.

My reply

I reply personally, by email. If something is missing, I will ask. I tell you when I can start, depending on the works already in progress, and send you a quote with the price and an estimated timeline.

III

Payment & work

Payment is by bank transfer: in full for works under 1,000 lei, and above that amount 50% as a deposit and 50% on completion. Once I receive the first payment, I begin the work.

IV

Completion & delivery

When it's finished, you receive a photo of the completed piece, with one retouch included free (each further retouch costs 10% of the base price; with watercolour, retouches are very limited). It comes signed and with a certificate of authenticity — collected in person or shipped.

About the piece

For a good portrait I need clear photos, ideally in natural light. You can upload them below, under “Reference photos”.

The details reach my inbox automatically. I reply personally, with the estimated start date for your piece.
