commissions
Want a one-of-a-kind oil painting that feels like it crawled out of a dream, a memory, or the darker corner of your mind?
You’re in the right place.
I create custom oil paintings ranging from expressive portraits to symbolic, myth-inspired pieces, all with a touch of shadow, elegance (if you want), and just enough mystery to make your guests ask,
"…are you okay?"
-
I offer oil painting commissions only, in the style you see across my work:
Portraits (moody, emotional, dramatic — not your school photo)
Dark, surreal, or symbolic concepts
Mythology-inspired pieces
“I had a weird idea” projects — my specialty
Everything is hand-painted with professional oil paints on canvas or wood panel.
No AI. No shortcuts. No soulless mass production.
Just art. Real art. -
Because you want something personal.
Something emotional.
Something that looks like it feels something.My process blends:
symbolism
emotion
mythology
a touch of darkness
and a whole lot of “I understood the assignment”
and sometimes sensuality
The result?
A painting that becomes part of your story, not just decor. -
1. Tell Me What You Want
Send your idea, any reference photos, the mood, colours, size, and anything symbolic you want included.
If you’re unsure, just describe the vibe. I speak fluent vibe.2. I Send You a Quote & Timeline
I’ll follow up with:
pricing (which depends on complexity and size of the piece)
estimated time
clarifying questions
a concept direction
Once you approve everything, we move on.
3. Pay the Deposit
A 50% non-refundable deposit holds your spot and lets me begin the painting. After the deposit is done, ill start working on the concept and will send you a few sketches before starting the painting.
4. I Paint Your PieceThis part takes time (oil paint is slow and i’m a cursed perfectionist).
You’ll receive:progress updates
a near-final preview
a final image before varnish
Major changes can’t be made later, so we lock in the concept at the beginning.
5. Final Payment & Delivery
Once finished and dry, you pay the remaining 50%. (the second half of the payment can be divided in 2, the painting will be shipped after the last payment).
Then I package the painting safely and send it your way, tracked, protected, and looking fabulous. -
When you reach out, please include:
reference images
a description of your idea
preferred size
the mood/colour palette
deadline (if any)
anything meaningful or symbolic
More details → more accuracy → more beautiful drama.
