Commission an Original Oil Painting
Some memories deserve to become more than photographs.
I create original oil paintings from your photographs, ideas and personal stories — whether it is a beloved animal, a person, a meaningful place, or a moment you want to preserve in a different way.
Each commissioned painting is created in my own artistic style, with careful attention to atmosphere, light, emotion and the character of the subject.

A Few Things to Know
- Reference photos: The quality of your reference photos matters. Clear, high-resolution images with plenty of visible detail give me the best starting point for creating a realistic painting. You can send one or several photos, and I’ll help you choose the most suitable references if needed.
- Oil painting takes time: Each painting is created layer by layer and needs sufficient drying time. The estimated completion time is 4-8 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the work.
- Your painting will be an original artwork: Your photographs provide the starting point, while composition, colour, light and other artistic decisions are interpreted in my own style.
NOTE: Submitting this form is a commission request, not a confirmed order. The final price, timeline and details will be agreed with me before the commission is confirmed.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a commissioned painting cost?
Starting prices are based on the size of the painting. The final price depends on the complexity and scope of the commission.
What kind of photos should I provide?
Good-quality, high-resolution photographs are important for creating a detailed and realistic painting. The clearer the photo, the more accurately I can capture the subject’s features, expression, texture, and character. You can send one or several reference photos. If you are unsure which photos would work best, you can send them to me, and I’ll help you choose the most suitable ones.

No. A 50% deposit is required to confirm the commission. The remaining 50% is paid when the painting is completed and before delivery.
Can I request changes?
The main composition is agreed before painting begins. Small changes may be possible during the process, while major changes may involve additional costs.
