Commissioned Paintings and Portraits
The origin of the work
Every commissioned painting is born from an encounter. An initial dialogue allows for the sharing of photographs, stories, details, and atmospheres. Whether it is a commissioned dog portrait, an animal portrait, or a personalized portrait of a person, listening is the first creative act. It is not simply about reproducing an image, but about understanding its most authentic presence.
Starting from the provided photographs, a preliminary study takes shape: the composition, the direction of light, and the balance between subject and space. The painting process then develops through layers and necessary waiting times, respecting the materials and the rhythms of oil or pastel painting.
The result is an original work, entirely hand-painted, designed to preserve identity, memory, and emotion.
Portraiture as interpretation
In commissioned animal portraits, particularly in dog portraits, the gaze becomes the emotional center of the work. In human portraits, however, the relationship between light and the face builds depth and presence.
The photograph represents a starting point; the painting transforms that image into a personal vision. Each personalized painting is born as a dialogue between sensibilities, giving shape to a work that goes beyond simple resemblance to restore character and authenticity.
Oil painting
An oil painting on canvas is living matter.
Through glazing and layering, the color acquires density and breath. The slow drying times allow for the construction of chromatic depth and a light that seems to emerge from within the work.
Commissioned oil paintings are particularly suitable for large-format animal and human portraits, thanks to their material intensity and durability over time. It is a pictorial technique that gives structure, presence, and solemnity to the image.
The mark of the pastel
The stroke remains visible, close to the original gesture. The color dust settles on the paper lightly, creating soft shades and a subtle luminosity. This technique particularly enhances the details of the gaze and the expressiveness of the subjects.
It is an ideal choice for those who desire a refined, elegant, and emotionally intense personalized painting.
Starting a commission
Commissioning a painting means choosing a work designed exclusively for oneself.
To request a commissioned portrait, you can send photographs and a brief description of the subject. Format, technique (oil on canvas or pastel), and dimensions are defined together, respecting the expressive intention and the space that will host the work.
Every work is handmade, signed, and accompanied by constant dialogue until delivery.

Commissioning a work
How much does a commissioned portrait cost?
The cost of a commissioned painting varies based on technique, size, and the complexity of the subject. Each request is evaluated individually to offer a work consistent with the client’s expressive and formal needs.
To receive a personalized evaluation, please fill out the contact form.
Is it possible to create a commissioned dog portrait from a photograph?
Yes. A commissioned dog portrait can be created from photographs provided by the client. The images serve as a basis for studying and interpreting the animal’s gaze, posture, and personality.
How long does it take to complete a personalized painting?
Times vary based on the chosen technique. A commissioned oil painting generally requires more time than a pastel portrait due to natural processing and drying times. Timelines are agreed upon during the initial phase.
Is it possible to ship the work within Italy or abroad?
Works can be shipped within Italy and abroad via specialized couriers.
The shipping of commissioned paintings and portraits is organized with professional packaging to ensure maximum protection during transport.
Shipping and insurance costs are the responsibility of the client and are defined based on the destination and the dimensions of the painting.
