Commissioned paintings
An artwork created especially for you — your space, your colors, your story. A clear, guided process from start to finish.
How the process works
- Initial conversation — You tell me your idea, the space where the artwork will live and the feelings you're after. References, photos of the place, or simply an intention.
- Proposal and quote — I send a proposal with technique, dimensions, color palette, price and timeline.
- Sketch — You approve a sketch or color study before I touch the canvas.
- Creation — I paint the work and share photo updates at key stages.
- Delivery — The artwork arrives varnished, with a certificate of authenticity and a care guide.
Timelines
Times vary by technique: acrylic allows quick deliveries; oil requires weeks of drying between layers and a final curing before varnish. We always agree on the date before starting.
Materials
I work only with professional-grade materials: cotton or linen canvas, lightfast pigments and conservation varnishes with UV filter.
Worldwide shipping
My artworks travel from San Salvador, El Salvador, to collectors around the world. Every painting ships with professional art packaging (corner protectors, protective layers and a rigid box), transit insurance and customs documentation. I guide you through the whole process until the artwork reaches your door — whether you're in the Americas, Europe or anywhere else.
Customization
Format, palette, technique and level of abstraction adapt to your space. If you have a photo of the wall, I can prepare a mockup of the artwork in place so you can see the result before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a commissioned painting take?
- It depends on technique and size. A medium acrylic can be ready in 3–4 weeks; a large oil, between 6 and 10 weeks plus curing time. You receive an estimated delivery date when the project starts.
- Can I request changes during the process?
- Yes. The process includes a sketch and a mid-progress review with photos, where you can request color or composition adjustments before the final stage.
- How is a commission priced?
- Based on size, technique and complexity. Message me on WhatsApp with your idea and approximate dimensions and I'll send you a no-obligation quote.
- Do you ship internationally? Do you ship to my country?
- Yes. I ship artworks from El Salvador worldwide with professional art packaging, transit insurance and customs documentation. Shipping cost is quoted based on destination and artwork size.
