What the painter is doing here

There is a whole day's weather in this one. The Departure gives you the place without putting anyone in it — and the light is not painted as illumination but as something the surface itself is doing.

The Departure. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the far distances go down cool and weak, the near ground stays loaded, and nothing is blended flat.

What a print loses

Landscape is the first thing printing ruins. The press gives you the same green at fifty metres as at five, and the whole point of the picture was that they are not the same green. A painter rebuilds that difference pass by pass, and the depth returns.

PriceOn request

Every canvas is painted to order, so the quote follows your size, frame and destination rather than a fixed list. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we reply with an exact figure, usually within the hour. You deal directly with the studio that paints it — no reseller layer.

Every canvas is painted to order, so the size is yours to choose. These are the ones people ask for most:

Larger canvases are possible, and so is anything in between. Just send the size you want. 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.

Finding the right wall

In practice it works best over a sofa or sideboard. 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.

Before you order

Can I change something in the composition?

Often yes — background, cropping, or adapting the proportions to your wall. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say honestly whether it will work.

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.

Is it really painted by hand?

Yes. We hand-paint from public-domain source images, do not sell prints, and never claim the original.
