Custom Commissions

I create custom pastel portraits, fully hand-drawn using high-quality professional materials. Each piece is crafted individually, with careful attention to detail, texture, and likeness — resulting in a unique and personal work of art.

My work focuses on animal and pet portraits. Commissions for human portraits are also considered upon request.

Before Ordering

Please keep the following in mind to ensure the best possible result:

• — I work from high-quality, well-lit reference photographs
• — Not every composition can be adapted to every format
• — Each size has natural limitations depending on the level of detail required
• — I reserve the right to decline reference images that would not allow a satisfactory result

If you are unsure whether your photograph is suitable, feel free to contact me before placing an order.

How It Works

1. 1. You send your reference photo or describe your idea
2. 2. I confirm whether it is suitable and suggest the most appropriate size
3. 3. I provide the final price and current availability
4. 4. A 50% deposit is required to begin
5. 5. I start work on your piece
6. 6. A progress image may be shared for minor adjustments if needed
7. 7. Final completion and delivery

Sizes & Prices

The size affects the level of detail achievable, so I will always suggest the most suitable format for your reference.

Additional Complexity

Where a commission involves extra elements, the base price is adjusted accordingly:

• — Additional subject: +40% of the base price
• — Detailed or complex background: +€30–€60 depending on complexity

The final price is always confirmed before any work begins.

Packaging & Delivery

Every commission is packaged with the same care that goes into creating it. Artwork is wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, placed on a rigid backing board, and sealed in a protective sleeve before being housed in a sturdy outer box — ensuring the piece arrives safely, in perfect condition.

All orders are dispatched via tracked and insured courier service. Shipping costs are calculated based on destination and confirmed alongside the final price.

• — Acid-free tissue paper and archival materials to protect the pastel surface
