What to look at
The brightest area sits away from the centre, which is why the eye keeps moving.

What a print loses
Darkness is the subject here, and printed darkness is just an absence of ink. Mixed out of pigment it becomes a place you can look into, which is what the painter was after.

Sizing it
Because we paint each piece from scratch, you are not limited to stock dimensions. Common choices:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
Custom sizes are welcome — if your wall needs something between these, or larger, say so and we will quote it. Shipping and framing are not included in the canvas quote. Duties and import taxes are for the buyer's account (DAP).
Tell us where it will hang and how big it needs to be — we will price it properly.

We have painted it most often for clients hanging it above a console in an entry. Proportions follow the original, not the nearest standard frame size. Anything panoramic or vertical is handled as a matter of course.
Questions worth asking
Will the dark passages look muddy?
That is the main risk in a night painting and the reason it cannot be printed. The painter mixes darks from colour rather than reaching for black, which keeps them transparent instead of dead.
Why not just print it?
A print flattens the surface into a poster: the distance collapses and the highlights turn to grey. Paint keeps the depth and the texture the original was built from.
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.
