HOW TO BUY
THE ARTISTS
PLEDGE
Creating a painting requires considerable attention to detail. The artwork’s white background is made up of 16 layers of paint applied over a silver base. This technique is consistently utilized for each individual piece of art. After a painting is showcased in the Gallery and sold, it is returned to the studio, where the artists examine it for any defects or damage that may have occurred during handling.
This guarantees that the client receives a flawless piece of art. If the client requests any modifications, such as changes in color or emphasizing specific areas of the painting, these adjustments will be made at no additional cost. All paintings exhibited in the gallery are one-of-a-kind creations, never duplicated. As a result, the art pieces that leave the gallery become the exclusive property of the client. However, the artists retain ownership of the copyright.
If you wish to purchase an artwork from this website, simply click on contact us and send us an email specifying which piece you want to buy, along with any additional questions you might have. Please note that all prices include a 15% Value Added Tax (VAT).
