Frequently asked questions
How does shipping work?
I offer complimentary worldwide shipping on all original artworks.
Due to their size, most paintings are shipped rolled in a sturdy protective tube. This is a widely trusted and secure method for safely delivering artworks worldwide. All artworks are original, one of a kind, and signed by the artist.
Orders are shipped within 2 weeks, and tracking details will be shared once your artwork is on its way. Delivery timelines may vary depending on your location, but most international orders arrive within 7–14 days after dispatch.
Please note that international orders may be subject to customs duties or import taxes upon arrival in your country. These charges are determined by local authorities and are the responsibility of the collector.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch before placing your order.

How to care for your painting over time?
For Canvas paintings-
-
All paintings are sealed with a UV and dust protective varnish, so they do not require framing under glass.
-
To preserve the artwork, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as intense exposure may still cause fading or surface changes over time.
-
Gently dust the surface with a clean, soft cloth when needed. Please avoid using water or any cleaning products.
-
It is best to keep the painting in a stable environment. Extreme changes in temperature, humidity, or dryness can affect the canvas and paint over time.
-
Canvas artworks should not be framed under glass, as they need to breathe. Framing under glass may trap moisture and potentially damage the painting.
For paintings on paper -
-
Again, keep the painting out of direct sunlight. If exposed to extreme heat or sunlight over long periods of time, paper can become brittle and can even shift the saturation level of few colors.
-
Ask your framer for non-glare glass, treated with a coating to protect the work from UV sunlight if possible. This not only protects your artwork from sunlight, the non-glare glass makes it easier to see the artwork surface when it is displayed.
-
The mat and backing of your frame should be made of acid free paper and finished with acid free tape. This is to avoid any moisture reaching your painting and damaging it.
