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. Progress images will be shared for minor adjustments if needed
7. 7. Final completion and delivery
