Commissions

Commission requests are currently open.

My architectural portraits are conceived as singular, hand-painted works, created through a slow and attentive process combining fine ink drawing and watercolor.
Each commission is developed for one collector only and exists as a one-of-a-kind piece, shaped by observation, material, and time.

As an independent artist working from a one-person studio, I accept a strictly limited number of commissions each year.
This allows every artwork to receive the necessary care, focus, and continuity throughout the process.

To submit a request, please complete the form below.

The Work

Each architectural portrait is approached as an autonomous artwork, not as a reproduction or decorative illustration.
The process is intentionally slow and tactile: the drawing is built line by line in ink, then developed through layers of watercolor, allowing light, texture, and atmosphere to emerge organically.

Every piece is created entirely by hand on professional-grade watercolor paper and interpreted through my personal artistic lens.
Minor artistic interpretation is an essential part of the process and contributes to the uniqueness of each work.

All commission requests are reviewed carefully.
Acceptance depends on subject matter, scale, timeline, and artistic alignment.

Commission Structure

Accepted commissions follow a private and carefully paced process.

Full payment is required before work on the artwork begins.
Once payment is received, the project is scheduled and developed according to the agreed timeline.

Turnaround times vary depending on size, complexity, and current workload.
Each piece requires dedicated, uninterrupted studio time and is completed entirely by the artist.


Shipping & Handling

Worldwide shipping is offered.
All artworks are carefully packaged and shipped with tracking to ensure safe delivery.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated separately based on the destination and the size of the artwork to ensure safe, tracked delivery. Once your country has been provided, I’ll confirm the exact shipping cost. The shipping fee will then be included in the total amount of your Stripe payment.

Frequently asked questions

How often do you open commission requests?

I will open commission requests 3-4 times throughout the year. Please subscribe to my newsletter and social media channels to stay in the loop on opening dates.

What is your turn around time?

My turnaround time varies throughout the year and I typically book about 2–3 months in advance.

What should I provide for reference?

In the commission request form, there is a section where you can upload a clear photo of the building from the angle you’d like painted. You’re also welcome to include additional reference photos for details or small personal touches you’d like to add.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes! There is an international shipping fee depending on the shipping destination.

When will I get my order?

I’ll begin working on your order as soon as full payment is received and will complete it as quickly as possible. Once your artwork has shipped, you’ll receive an email with tracking and further details. Delivery times vary depending on your location.

What type of payment do you accept?

Once we finalize the details of your commission, I’ll send you a Stripe payment link for the full amount. Payment is required in full before I begin working on your artwork. Stripe also offers installment options, depending on availability. After payment is completed, I’ll issue the invoice and begin creating your piece.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated based on your location. I’ll confirm the shipping cost once your country has been provided.

Can you draw people or pets?

At this time, I do not offer portraits of people or pets, as my focus and specialty lie in architectural art. I prefer to work within my strengths in order to create pieces where I can deliver my best work.

That said, I’m happy to incorporate subtle personal elements into your artwork, such as a pet’s name on a sign, an anniversary date, or small symbolic details meaningful to you. This approach allows me to stay true to my artistic style while adding a thoughtful, personal touch to each piece.
