Notes on Commissions

A commission is a collaboration between someone’s story and my way of painting.

Why I Love Painting Commissions

I genuinely enjoy painting commissions. It makes me feel honored to be trusted with something as personal as a piece of art, something that will accompany someone, remind them of a person or a place, or simply help turn their house into a home.

A commissioned painting is a collaboration between someone’s story and my way of painting. It’s when we, you as the collector and me as the artist, join forces to turn an idea into reality.

The process is simple:

Step 1: You Share the Vision

You tell me what you envision for your commissioned painting. The idea might originate from a photograph, a color, a mood, a memory, or even a song.

It’s very helpful for me to know:

• Who the painting is for, and why

• Where it will be placed

• The type of interior or decoration it will be surrounded by

• Which of my existing paintings resonate with you

  
  

All of this helps me develop a clear vision of both the feeling and the aesthetic direction the piece should take. Knowing which of my previous works speak to you also helps me understand what draws you to my work and why you’re choosing me for your commission.

Step 2: I Create Your Piece

From there, I begin working on a new piece inspired by your preferences and story.

It can be an abstract, a landscape, a life-inspired scene, or a portrait, always interpreted through my artistic language.

My Approach

It’s important to know that I am not a realist painter.

If a photograph is involved, I will never create an exact copy. My work is expressive, I blend abstract elements with figurative ones to create something that feels alive, emotional, and uniquely yours.

The goal is not replication, but interpretation.

Why People Commission Art

There are many reasons someone chooses to commission a painting:

• To immortalize a meaningful place

• To hold onto the feeling of a life transition or milestone

• To celebrate a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or new home

• To gift something deeply personal

• To live with something that is truly theirs

  
  

How to Start

If you’d like to commission a painting, please begin by exploring my portfolio and noticing which pieces you feel most drawn to.

After that, you can fill out the commission form. It will give me everything I need to begin creating your painting. There you’ll find all the details about the commission process. And if anything feels unclear, I’m always happy to answer your questions.
