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.

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.
