Creating a painting, whether portrait of a person, an animal, depicting a particular scene, or creating an abstract work – this is a deeply personal and rewarding journey for me. I have always been passionate about capturing the essence of a painting—not just the physical attributes, but the emotions, passions, and unique qualities that make the image special and unique. Every commission is a reflection of that person’s spirit, and I pour my heart into ensuring that their story is told on the canvas.

Due to the time and care that goes into each piece, I am only able to accept a limited number of commissions. This allows me to devote the necessary attention to each painting, ensuring it’s a true expression of both your desires and my artistic vision.

Commission Process

To begin the process, I ask my clients to provide several photographs of the image they would like me to paint, along with details about their passions, interests, and any special moments or qualities they wish to highlight. This helps me connect with the subject on a deeper level and create a painting that is not only visually striking but also emotionally resonant.

Sizes

I usually work in one of the following formats:

Small

8.3″ x 11.7″ (21cm x 29.7cm – A4): This size is perfect for those on a budget, and/or those who are restricted on space. With a mount, the finished size to be framed is A3, 11.7″ x 16.5″ (29.7cm x 42.0cm).

24″ x 36″ (61cm x 91cm): This size is commonly sought after for larger living spaces, above couches, or as statement pieces on wide walls. It offers a balanced scale that works well for both home and gallery displays.

Medium

18″ x 24″ (45cm x 61cm): This mid-size landscape format is frequently chosen for smaller spaces or for collectors who prefer a more modest display. It’s a versatile size that fits well in various interiors.

Large

30″ x 40″ (76cm x 101cm): Larger than the standard but still manageable for many spaces, this size often appeals to collectors looking for an impactful, yet not overwhelming, artwork.

36″ x 48″ (91cm x 122cm): A more dramatic size for large rooms, offices, or spaces with high ceilings. It tends to be chosen by those looking for a striking centerpiece. Please note, this size is only offered for abstract pieces.

Pricing

Pricing is thoughtfully tailored to each unique commission, taking into account the intricacy of the subject, and the desired size, ensuring a truly personalized piece of art.

• Small: These intimate works typically range from $750 to $2,000, offering a perfect blend of detail and charm.
• Medium: Often the centerpiece of a room, medium-sized paintings are usually between $1,500 and $3,500, providing an ideal balance of impact and elegance.
• Large: For those seeking a bold, statement-making creation, large pieces typically range from $3,500 to $7,500, capturing the essence of grandeur and sophistication.

Each commissioned artwork is uniquely crafted to reflect your vision.
