Frequently Asked Questions
  • Are the paintings handmade?
    Open Answer

    Yes. All artworks are 100% hand-painted by professional artists in our international partner workshops. Each piece is created individually for every order.

  • Are the paintings signed by the artist?
    Open Answer

    Yes, typically every artwork is signed by the artist who painted it. If you prefer the painting without a signature, please let us know when placing your order.

  • Can I receive progress photos of my artwork?
    Open Answer

    Yes! We believe in transparency. We send real-time progress photos or videos for your approval before the painting is shipped, so you can be sure you love it.

  • Do you provide a Certificate of Authenticity?
    Open Answer

    Yes. Every painting comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

  • Can I request changes to colors, composition, or details?
    Open Answer

    Yes. Since each artwork is made to order, we can adjust colors, details, and composition according to your instructions. Just add a note to your order or contact us.

  • Can I order a custom size?
    Open Answer

    Yes. Custom sizing is available. Please contact us with the required dimensions before placing your order to get a quote.

  • Does the painting come framed?
    Open Answer

    It depends on the option you select. "Rolled Canvas" arrives without a frame (canvas only). "Framed" or "Gallery Wrap" arrives stretched and ready to hang.

  • Do I need to frame a Rolled Canvas?
    Open Answer

    Yes. A rolled canvas is shipped in a protective tube and must be stretched or framed at your local framing shop upon arrival.

  • Why is the rolled canvas larger than the size shown on the website?
    Open Answer

    We add extra margins (usually 5-7 cm) on all sides of the painted area. This ensures there is enough canvas to wrap around the stretcher bars properly without losing any part of the image.

  • What is the total delivery time?
    Open Answer

    The full process from order to delivery typically takes 4–5 weeks. This includes the time for painting, drying (since oil paint dries slowly), and shipping.

  • How long does it take to create a painting?
    Open Answer

    Typically 14–21 days. Large or complex artworks may take up to 4 weeks. Highly detailed pieces and complex sculptures may require up to 8 weeks.

  • Why can the drying process take longer?
    Open Answer

    Oil paint dries slowly. Drying time depends on humidity, weather, and the number of layers, so delays may occur due to factors outside our control.

  • How are artworks packaged?
    Open Answer

    Rolled paintings are carefully packed in high-quality protective hard tubes. Framed paintings are packed in secure boxes with protective layers to prevent damage.

  • Do you provide tracking information?
    Open Answer

    Yes. Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking number to follow the delivery in real time.

  • What shipping carriers do you use?
