Commissions
I’ve been focusing on my own work and preparing for exhibitions, so I am not currently accepting commission requests. Instead, I continue to release new pieces regularly here on my web store, and I share updates through my newsletter.
Authenticity & COA
Starting with works created in May 2025, I introduced changes to the way the reverse side of my original artworks is presented
(the back of the actual canvas or panel, once the frame board is removed).
For past original works, I included proof of authenticity by noting the year of creation, a logo stamp, and my signature on the reverse.
With this update, I discontinued the use of the logo stamp and sticker. Instead, I now attach a hologram card bearing the year, the artwork’s title, and my handwritten signature, together with a holographic seal containing a unique serial number.
I have several reasons for integrating the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) directly with each artwork.
First, in order to preserve the integrity of authenticity, I follow the international standard practice of issuing the COA only once per artwork. If a COA is lost, it cannot be reissued. This prevents the risk of the certificate circulating independently from the artwork and ensures that the proof of authenticity remains inseparably tied to the piece.
Each serial number is recorded and managed in my private database and is known only to myself and the legitimate owner of the work. This system provides a strong safeguard against forgery.
For collectors who acquire a work on the secondary market, authenticity can be verified with even greater accuracy than with a paper COA. By presenting the serial number along with a photo of the reverse side of the work, I can confirm and advise whether the piece is genuine. Please note, however, that while I perform verification, I never disclose the serial numbers from my records.
This policy applies only to original artworks. For Limited Edition Prints and other editions, the Certificate of Authenticity is not integrated into the work itself but is instead provided as a separate document.
Finally, please note that I do not retrofit older works with the current hologram card, nor do I issue these cards separately for past pieces.
Surface Treatment
I intentionally avoid thick, glossy coatings that resemble glass, as they can feel overly commercial and make the work look like a reproduction. Instead, I apply several thin layers of varnish, leaving subtle traces of brushstrokes and slight paint ridges perceptible, rather than completely concealing them beneath a heavy finish.
This approach not only preserves the unique character of each painting but also serves as a safeguard against forgery. The visible surface details become identifying features that help confirm authenticity, even if the work circulates on the secondary market.
