Do you also create paintings for professionals and commercial spaces?
Yes. Quadri su Commissione works with private clients and professionals on artworks for homes and commercial spaces. We can work on your own space or a client’s project, starting with a consultation to define the setting, artistic direction and budget.
Do I need to know what I want painted?
You can come with a clear idea or simply the desire to find an artwork for your space. We can start with one of my subjects, develop your brief or follow the personal A Window into You process.
Why is a video call useful?
It allows us to look at your space and review the initial choices. Dimensions, light and furnishings may suggest a size or technique different from those first imagined. This way, the budget is based on a project suited to your situation.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes, the first meeting is free and without obligation. We consider the idea, space, approach and budget. The design process, including sketches and previews, begins after the commission agreement is signed and the deposit is paid.
How much does a commissioned painting cost?
The price depends on the design approach, size, technique and complexity. During the first meeting, we agree on a spending range; the final price is confirmed for the chosen artwork. The quoted amount includes VAT, a custom-made wooden crate and shipping.
Can I request a quotation based on a size?
You can provide it as a reference. Before confirming it, we look at the space and assess whether that proportion really works. The consultation also helps avoid choosing a size that is too large, too small or unsuitable for the setting.
Can I choose the colours and technique?
We discuss them together during the design process. I consider your tastes and suggest solutions consistent with my work and the space. Light, in particular, helps us understand how to make the most of surfaces, raised textures and colours.
Will I see a preview on my wall?
Yes, during the design process I prepare sketches and renderings in your space. These are useful tools for comparing size, composition and colours before painting begins. A screen cannot perfectly reproduce the texture and variations in light of the actual artwork.
Can I request changes to the design?
Yes, the design stage includes discussion and revisions. The number of stages depends on the agreed work and its complexity. We define the terms before starting, and you approve the design before the painting is created.
When do I pay the deposit?
After the consultation, if you choose to proceed, you sign the commission agreement and pay the agreed deposit. The deposit forms part of the payment for the commissioned painting and is deducted in full from the final price of the artwork.
Can I split the remaining payment?
Yes. After approving the design, you can agree to pay the remaining balance in one instalment or split it between the start of creation and the final payment before shipping. For a remaining balance of €1,000 or more, three instalments can be agreed. The artwork is shipped after the balance has been paid.
How long does the process take?
The aim is to finalise the design within around a month of the first meeting, depending on the project and the time needed for discussion. Creation and delivery are then scheduled according to the technique, size and studio calendar. If you have a deadline, mention it at the outset so we can check whether it is feasible.
Will I receive updates while the work is in progress?
Yes. During creation, I share photos and videos of the painting, so you can follow it taking shape and discover the stages of the work by hand.
How is the painting protected for shipping?
The artwork is packed in a wooden crate custom-built for transport. The crate and shipping are included in the quoted amount. Delivery details are finalised before dispatch.
Does the painting have a certificate of authenticity?
Yes, the artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity. For commissions, the certificate also states the client’s name as agreed for the project.
Can I give a commissioned artwork as a gift?
Yes. We can agree on a budget and leave the design process to the person receiving the gift. During the first contact, we define the occasion and how to present the gift.
Can I start with an artwork I have seen on social media?
Of course. Send me the reference or the name of the artwork. Together, we will decide whether to customise that subject or develop a new direction based on what caught your attention.
Should I choose an artwork from the shop or a commission?
The shop lets you explore artworks with the features listed on their individual pages. A commission involves consultation and design to define the painting in relation to your request and your space. If you are unsure, we can compare the possibilities during the first meeting.
