Commissioned Art of the Highest Craftsmanship — Individual, Personal, International.

For more than 25 years, I have created artworks for private collectors, companies, and institutions around the world.
Every painting is crafted by hand with precision, tailored to the individual project, and professionally packaged for secure international delivery.

From personal portraits to large-scale signature works —
I guide you reliably through the entire process, from the first concept to the final delivery.

Why People Choose a Custom Painting

A commissioned artwork is more than an image.
It is a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind piece of art that can accompany a home, a room, or a company for many years. Many of my clients choose a custom painting because it tells a meaningful story — their story.

Reinforced Cardboard for Maximum Safety

In the next step, the artwork is enclosed in a reinforced cardboard crate. Corners are additionally padded so the painting remains securely fixed — even on long international shipping routes.

Shipping is available worldwide and includes customs handling, tracking, and full insurance. Each package is professionally sealed and clearly labeled to ensure your artwork arrives safely and undamaged.

FAQ – Commissioned Paintings

What do I need for a commission request?2025-12-12T22:53:18+02:00

For your request, I need the desired size of the painting and a brief description of the subject.
The best way is to send your reference images and details by email.

Each artwork is created based on reference material. A careful and precise working process ensures a high artistic standard and a truly unique commissioned painting.

What is the delivery time?2025-12-12T22:51:04+02:00

The delivery time depends on the size and complexity of the commissioned painting.

For less elaborate motifs created with fast-drying materials, the production time is approximately 20 business days.
If framing and shipping are required, please allow an additional 3–5 business days.

Larger oil paintings require a longer drying period before they are ready for shipment. In these cases, the production time is approximately 20–30 business days, plus shipping time.

All artworks are shipped fully insured worldwide.

What payment options are available?2025-12-12T22:48:20+02:00

    Transfer the amount directly from your account. You will receive an invoice for the deposit and a proof of purchase.

Format, Technique & Style2025-12-12T22:40:54+02:00

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.
