COMMISSION process

A BRIEF OUTLINE & INTRODUCTION

Thank you for the opportunity to bring your vision to life in a meaningful and impactful way. I’m genuinely eager to collaborate closely and learn more about your specific goals and ideas. Below you’ll find a summary of the commission workflow designed to guide our initial discussion, which we can certainly refine and adjust as our work progresses.

GET TO KNOW ME

A bit about me: I grew up in Austria, a melting pot of different cultures and music that inspired me to see beauty in everything, whether big or small. I’m an Australian artist currently living in the vibrant city of Melbourne. After earning a Fine Art Degree from Monash University, I spent several years creating intricate glass sculptures and immersive installations. Eventually, I found myself drawn to painting, experimenting with a wide range of styles and techniques. Today, my abstract paintings focus deeply on emotions and the energy connected to personal transformation, continually exploring the human experience in a lively, dynamic way.

03. PROJECT COMMENCEMENT

04. FINAL CHECK BEFORE DELIVERY

WORK OVERVIEW

For a smooth and efficient comission process between both parties, these essential key steps are to be clearly understood and carefully Considered with a clear objective.



01. I ask that you share 2 of my previous works that you have felt most connected to, as well as any colour palette requests and dimensions. This ensures we are on the same page visually.

*Please Note:-I won’t ever be able to recreate a previous work and require as much creative freedom as possible for best results.

02. I will submit a rough sketch and colour palette before starting, allowing the opportunity to voice any adjustments before painting begins.

03. Once approved I will begin painting. Please allow up to 3-4 months for the work to be completed.

04. Once the piece is completed, I will share an image to ensure you are happy with the finished piece. If we are both happy, I’ll organise for your special piece to be on its way!

PAYMENT & SCHEDULE

I require a 50% deposit before beginning work, with the remaining amount to be paid prior to shipping.

Shipping and import taxes are quoted separately.

We will commence work once a deposit has been paid

Project Timeline 3 - 4 months

WHAT'S NEXT?

01 - Finalise Scope

Once I have received reference images from you and any additional information regarding size, palette or other requests, I can quote the piece and send across an invoice for 50%.

02 - Project Commencement

As soon as payment has been made I will get to work on a first draft.*It is very important that any concerns are raised prior to project commencement.Once work has begun it is not always possible to make changes.
