Commission a piece
Tell me what you have in mind
Below you'll find the steps, starting prices and the form where you tell me what you have in mind. Whether you'd like a custom portrait painted from a photo, an icon, or a personalized painting, the more details and references you give me, the better I can estimate.
Commissions
How we work together
The commission process, from the first conversation to delivery.
Conversation
You tell me what you have in mind — subject, size, medium, timeline. We set the direction together.
Sketch & quote
You receive a sketch or proposal and a clear quote, with price and timeline.
Deposit & work
With a deposit, I begin the work and carry it out in the agreed technique and size.
Completion & delivery
When it's finished, you receive a photo of the completed piece, with one retouch included free (further changes are charged separately). It comes signed and with a certificate of authenticity — collected in person or shipped.
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.
