Note: Smaller formats may not allow for multiple subjects, due to limited space and required precision.

Oil Painting on Canvas

 An oil portrait, painted on stretched canvas, offers a rich, timeless, and expressive finish.


Before placing your order, it is necessary to choose the size that best suits your space and the desired effect of your artwork.


Each canvas is created entirely by hand, with care and precision, using professional-grade materials.

Process Steps


  1. Request Submission: via the contact form, attaching your photos and specifying the size, medium, and number of subjects.
     
  2. Photo Selection: you will provide a high-quality photo (clear details, full framing, good lighting) to allow for an accurate and expressive reproduction.
     
  3. Creation: the artwork is hand-crafted with patience and precision, on paper or canvas.
     
  4. Shipping:

    • Paper works: shipped in a rigid tube envelope, carefully protected.
       
    • Oil paintings on canvas: shipped in a sturdy box, with protective packaging.
       

Enhancement

Once received, your artwork can be protected and elevated with custom framing or a gallery frame, depending on your preference.

Time Completes Its Work

Creation on Paper

 Acquiring a work of art is often love at first sight. When you fall artistically in love, you want your acquisition to keep its beauty forever. All creations have their own temporality: to help them age gracefully, give them the best chances to resist what makes them vulnerable.


Your paper artwork, enhanced by a frame, will not only be showcased but also carefully preserved against the wear of time.

A Little Science

 

  • Climate – Humidity and temperature directly affect the stability of paper. Hygroscopic, it absorbs and releases water from the air: with humidity it expands and warps, while in overly dry conditions, it contracts and weakens.
     
  • Light – Exposure must be carefully controlled. Intense or direct light can damage fibers and fade pigments. To protect your artwork, use UV-protective glass.
     
  • Environment – Dust, humidity, and insects (especially those attracted to paper) can cause damage. Cleaning products, solvents, smoke, and other vapors can also permeate fibers.
     
  • Framing – Protective glass is recommended to safeguard the surface of the artwork. Plexiglass, though lightweight, generates static electricity that attracts loose pigments (charcoal, pastel, glossy prints). In these cases, glass remains the safest choice.
