Frequently asked questions
A collection piece is already painted, unique, and available right now in my Art Shop. They can be shipped immediately or collected from my Zurich studio — and they tend to sell quickly. They are also slightly more affordable.
A commission is a bespoke painting made specifically for you, tailored to your face, preferences, and colors — which is why they are priced higher.
I have completed over 500 portraits in my career and maintain a perfect record of client satisfaction. My philosophy is to always keep the client happy, doing whatever it takes to achieve that. I guide you through every step — from colours and composition to decoration advice — making the process smooth and enjoyable.
Finding the right artist can be challenging — there are not many, and styles vary widely. The best approach is to ask for recommendations and look for an artist whose work resonates with you. If my style isn’t what you’re looking for, I’m happy to point you in another direction. I know most artists in Zurich and can recommend trusted colleagues.
Galleries typically add a 40–50% commission on top of the artist’s price. The most cost-effective way to purchase quality art locally is to buy directly from the artist. This way, you not only save on markup but also build a personal connection with the creator. If my work isn’t what you’re seeking, I can still recommend talented local artists whose style you may love.
Yes — every painting comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. This is especially valuable for collectors and the resale market, as it verifies the artwork’s origin and ensures its long-term value. Some of my works have already been resold for substantial amounts, so having the certificate is an important added safeguard.
