         COMMISSIONED PAINTINGS

           More Than Just a Painting

commission painting

Every custom painting is more than just a piece of art. It is a unique blend of motifs, colors, and symbols that hold a special place in your story. Each piece is created with the specific emotions in mind that you wish to relive every time you look at it, bringing a deeply personal creation to life on canvas.

           Tailored to Your Space and Vision

When creating your piece, I can draw inspiration from the motifs, colors, and atmosphere of my existing original paintings and adapt them to your wishes. If you love a larger piece but need it in a smaller size, I can easily adjust the scale or choose a different format—whether portrait, landscape, or square. Alternatively, if you are drawn to the colors of a specific painting, I can recreate a similar motif using a different color palette that perfectly complements your space.

Technique and Materials

Every painting is meticulously hand-painted and entirely unique.
I work with high-quality acrylic or oil paints on canvas. Upon request, I can also incorporate mixed media techniques such as collage or gold leaf. Once the painting is fully dry, I apply a protective archival varnish. This final coat protects the piece from dust, UV rays, and moisture, while enhancing color vibrancy and adding optical depth to the artwork.

Timeline

Creating a custom piece typically takes 3 to 6 weeks from the deposit payment to delivery, depending on the complexity of the piece and my current schedule. I will provide you with an exact completion date upon confirming your order.

Portraits of Horses and Other Pets

Horses play a massive role in my life, and I take immense joy in bringing their spirits and stories onto the canvas. Without horses, I wouldn't be who I am today—I grew up with them, and they have been my greatest teachers. I’ve shared my biggest journeys, my hardest challenges, and my most beautiful moments with them.

 once- in- a- lifetime horse

Anyone who has ever bonded with horses knows that there is always that one "once-in-a-lifetime horse." It is always just one. The one who taught us the most, who was our truest friend, who perhaps helped us through a dark time, or brought us the purest moments of joy. These extraordinary horses deserve a place of honor on our walls, allowing them to live on with us forever.

it looks exactly like him

Nothing fulfills me more than seeing tears of joy in people's eyes when they first see a portrait of their loyal companion and hear them say, "It looks exactly like him." I want to bring that joy to as many people as possible. I absolutely love surprises and love creating them for others. I study every horse closely; I am incredibly meticulous and make it my mission to capture every single detail.

Reference Photos

A high-quality photo of your pet truly makes for a better painting. However, I am more than happy to help you select the best option from the photos you have available. The ideal reference photo is sharp, clear, and taken in natural light.
