What is sold
Commissioned portraits, unique pieces, oil on prepared panel, delivered unframed. No prints and no reproductions are sold on this site. Colours on screen are indicative: an oil surface cannot be reproduced exactly by a photograph.
Prices and payment
Prices are in euros, inclusive of tax. Shipping is extra, quoted with the composition and paid with the balance. Commissions: 50% deposit once you have approved the proposed composition, before I start painting; balance and shipping before dispatch. Payment by card through Stripe or by bank transfer.
Delivery
Shipped worldwide in rigid packaging, tracked, charged on top of the price and confirmed before you pay anything. Three to six weeks for a 20 x 20 cm commission from the date the deposit clears.
Right of withdrawal
A commissioned portrait is made to your specification and is therefore excluded from the right of withdrawal under article L221-28, 3°. The deposit is retained if you cancel after work has begun.
Copyright
Buying a painting transfers the object, not the copyright. I keep the right to photograph the work and show it on this site, in print and on social media. If you would rather a commissioned portrait were not shown publicly, tell me when you book and I will respect it.
Personal data
The commission form and the waiting list send your message and email address to my own inbox, nothing more. No account, no advertising, no transfer to third parties. Visit statistics are collected without cookies and without any personal identifier. Write to me to have your data deleted.
Disputes
French law applies. In case of disagreement, write to me first: most things are settled by email. Failing that, you may use a consumer mediator free of charge before going to court.
