What is actually happening
A face built out of temperature rather than line. Orientalist portrait of a nude lady, bust length holds one person under steady attention, and the shadow side is never dead grey; it is full of colour the eye only finds on the second look.
Orientalist portrait of a nude lady, bust length. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the shadow side of the face is mixed from colour rather than grey, which is where most copies go dead.

What makes it hard to copy
A printed face is grey in the shadows, and grey is why printed portraits look dead. Skin in shadow is warm, cool, greenish by turns — a painter mixes it, a press cannot.

Choosing a size
Every canvas is painted to order, so the size is yours to choose. These are the ones people ask for most:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 16 × 12 in | 40 × 30 cm | A shelf, a small wall, a gallery group |
| 64 × 48 in | 163 × 122 cm | Villa scale, lobby, hospitality wall |
| 48 × 36 in | 122 × 91 cm | Large living room, stairwell, loft |
| 40 × 30 in | 102 × 76 cm | Living room focal wall, above a sofa |
Every size here is a guide. Tell us what you need and we will build the canvas to suit. We quote the canvas first; framing and shipping come after. Import duties and taxes fall to the buyer (DAP).
Send the wall, the size and whether you want a frame, and we will quote.

In practice it works best along a stairwell, following the eye upward. Because each canvas is built from scratch, we follow the original's proportions instead of trimming the image to a standard shape. Panoramic and vertical formats are both fine.
The practical questions
How do I know what size will look right?
Measure the wall and send a photograph. We will say honestly if the canvas you have in mind is too small for the space, which is the most common mistake.
Is there a rush option?
It depends on the canvas and what else is in the studio. Ask on WhatsApp with your size and we will tell you straight what is possible.
What if my wall is an unusual shape?
That is normal for us. Send the measurements and we will work out a canvas proportion that suits the space.
