Commissioned artworks are available in any size and in a wide range of styles.
Before the painting process begins, we decide together on the appropriate format and materials for your artwork. I am happy to advise you on the most suitable technique for your project.

Possible materials include, among others: oil paint, acrylic paint, pastel, pencil, tempera, pigments, lacquers, and watercolor.

All painting techniques are priced equally — there is no additional charge for choosing a specific medium.

When do I pay for a commissioned painting?2025-12-12T22:38:35+02:00

Upon confirmation of the commission, a 70% deposit is required. Once payment is received, I begin creating your painting. During the painting process and after completion, you will receive photos of the artwork.

If the painting does not yet fully meet your expectations, I will make further adjustments until you are satisfied.

What subjects are possible for a commissioned painting?2025-12-12T22:36:04+02:00

There are no limits to your desired subject.
You are welcome to send me multiple reference photos, which I will combine into a cohesive concept. Before I begin painting, you will receive one or more draft designs, allowing you to review everything carefully and decide whether the concept feels right.

Once you are happy with the proposed design, I will begin creating your commissioned painting.
