Commission.
Your story transformed into a unique artwork.
Each of my current bodies of work includes pieces that tell a unique personal story, connected to the story of humanity.
One of these stories can be yours.
We begin with a conversation. Together, we uncover what you want the work to tell. It can be a personal story, a relationship, a transformation, a belief, a place, or something that is difficult to put into words.
We choose the body of work, object, painting that is most suited for you.
I then translate that into an piece through connecting your story to archaeology, mythology, symbolism, material and contemporary culture.
The result is an artwork that could only have been made for you. It connects your unique story to the rest of the stories in this collection.
It would be an honor and privilege to include you in my world.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
01 - Conversation
We book a call.
In this call we get to know each other and you tell me what matters to you.
It might be something you want to remember. Something you want to celebrate. A person, a relationship, a turning point, a place, an idea.
There is no need to arrive with a finished concept.
We see which piece can be the best fit for you and decide on a concept.
02 - Investigation
You tell me, in detail, about the story that we decided to make into an artwork. This can be done in another call or by filling in a form with questions I send you.
Then, I begin researching.
This may take me into mythology, archaeology, history, psychology, contemporary culture or symbolism.
I look for connections between your story and the larger stories humans have been telling for thousands of years.
This is where the personal becomes universal.
It can be subtle or elaborate, depending on what we decide together.
03 - Creation
I begin creating the piece.
Depending on the object we decide on, I may collaborate with specialist artisans who preserve traditional techniques.
This part changes between collector to collector. Some like to be part of the process and some prefer to just see the finished piece. I adapt this to whatever your preference is. I can send process pictures, we can go over details together and have another call, or I can present the finished piece when it´s done.
This part can take up to a few months, depending on the scale of the piece and if it´s in collaboration with other artisans. I give an estimate of time beforehand, but please remember that an artwork takes as long as it takes, so allow for more time, if needed.
04 - Reveal
The finished work is the beginning of its life with you.
I work with each collector to determine how the work is presented and, when appropriate, how it is revealed.
An artwork created around your story should have a moment and a presentation of its own.
WHAT CAN BE COMMISSIONED
WHAT MAKES A COMMISSION DIFFERENT?

A commission is creating an object that is unique only to you. A artwork that tells your story through myths, symbols and the story of humanity.
The strongest commissions become objects with a life beyond their original story — works that can be lived with, discussed, interpreted and eventually passed on.
These pieces become objects with a life beyond the story they tell, they become part of your home, your conversations and your heirlooms.
My work exists between art and artifact — between ancient and contemporary, physical and digital, intellect and intuition.
A commission gives you the opportunity to enter that world and make a piece of it your own
INVESTMENT
Commissions begin at approximately €4,000, with larger works and more complex commissions ranging from €10,000–€30,000+.
Works are individually quoted according to scale, materials, research and production.
Every commission is unique.
There is a down payment of 30% at the beginning and the rest is due upon completion.
Payment in Bitcoin is calculated according to the value on the day we start.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
A commission may be right for you if:
-
You want an artwork that has a personal meaning.
-
You have a story, idea or experience you want transformed into something physical.
-
You collect contemporary art or want to start collecting but are looking for something less conventional.
Or you simply encountered my work and thought:
“I want to be part of this world.”
**An important note here is that an essential part of the work is belonging to the story of the worlds I create, the myths, symbols and the connection of your story to the story of humanity. It´s I journey full of symbols, history and meaning.
If you are looking for a more conventional portrait, this is probably not for you.
LET´S BEGIN.
You don't need to know exactly what you want.
That's my job.
Tell me a little about yourself, the story or idea you have in mind, and what you would like the work to hold.
I'll get back to you personally to see whether we are a good fit.
You can either fill in the form and I will get back to you or directly book a call through the button below.
