A bespoke painting begins with a series of choices. Some concern what you wish to express, others how the artwork will fit into your residential or commercial space.
I guide you through both, with a process that makes the design visible before the painting is created and clearly defines the budget and timing.
Book the first meeting →A consultation to make a more informed choice
During the video call, we discuss your idea and look at the space. We consider the wall’s dimensions, furnishings, light and the points from which you will view the artwork.
This assessment may change the initial request. A two-metre painting may dominate a room; a small canvas may lose its impact on a large wall. The technique must also be chosen in relation to the space: light affects how we perceive raised textures, surfaces and colours.
What to prepare: a front-on photograph of the wall, a wider photograph of the room and some approximate measurements, if available. You can add references you like. We will make the final choices together.
Three ways to begin the project
1Customising an artwork from the catalogue
This approach is for those who have already found a subject in my work that feels close to them. We start with an artwork you have seen in my catalogue and explore how it can be customised for your space.
Colours, size and placement become part of the design. Creating it by hand preserves the variations and presence of painting.
2Developing an idea through a brief
If you have a subject, references or a clear direction, we bring them together in a brief: a shared description of what you wish to achieve.
I consider how to translate the idea into my painting and which choices can bring out its best on your wall. Sketches and previews help us discuss a concrete proposal.
3A Window into You
This process starts with what you wish to find in the artwork: a place you love, a story, a memory or an image that is still difficult to define.
A 26-question questionnaire and direct discussion help us find a personal direction. From there, I develop the composition, colours and texture, leading to a proposal you can view in your space.
Explore A Window into You →We choose the approach together. You do not need to know painting techniques or arrive with a fully worked-out design.
The budget is agreed before the design process
During the first free consultation, I help you define the budget for your project. Together, we will establish the investment for your commissioned artwork.

See the painting on your wall
I prepare digital sketches and previews in your space. This allows us to consider proportions, composition, colours and their relationship with the furnishings.
We revise the proposals until we define the one to create, in accordance with what has been agreed for the project. Some ideas take shape quickly; others need more stages. Before I begin painting your picture, you will approve the final choice.
A rendering is a design tool. It helps you assess the overall result.
A crate built for its journey
When the artwork is finished, I prepare its packaging in a custom-made wooden crate. The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and care instructions.
VAT, the wooden crate and shipping are included in the quoted amount. The balance is paid in full before shipping.
