Commissioned art

Commissioned painting or drawing - unique works created according to your wishes. You get to participate in the design of the artwork from the very beginning.

A commissioned work can be designed to match the atmosphere and lighting of your home or business premises, or around a specific theme.

I always create works with high-quality materials to ensure their longevity.

Tanssin riemu - uniikki taidemaalaus Svetlana Ruoho

"The Fox painting has received a lot of attention for its warm colors and refined special details, which are noticed more and more upon repeated viewing.

And thank you again for the pleasant cooperation – we had the opportunity to see the painting during the work in progress, and trust was established immediately from our first meeting, mutually."

How is a commissioned artwork made?

I gladly undertake custom work using various techniques. My aim is to create beautiful environments in my paintings, embodying the joy of life and a positive outlook.

Feel free to contact me when you have an idea for a painting.

Once I know your budget and wishes, I can suggest a suitable technique and work with you to develop the piece further.

A commissioned artwork is a good investment.

Artwork is always an excellent investment idea, but that doesn't mean it has to be really expensive. The price range of my works is flexible. When you contact me directly, a commissioned work does not include gallery rental or commissions.

The artwork I create will be your family's pride and will live on from generation to generation. I use high-quality materials and am meticulous in adhering to the rules of painting technique.

What topics can one paint?

The themes of my paintings are very diverse. I am inspired by everyday life and the world around me, which is why the themes and moods change, like a flowing river of life.

How is the work paid?

When I do commissioned work, the down payment is 40%. The price includes VAT 14%. The balance is paid when the work is completed, when you are satisfied. The balance can also be paid in suitable installments according to the agreement.

I always work until the client is satisfied with the end result. Commissioning a portrait (a creative work) naturally involves collaboration and open discussion on both sides.

I have always completed portrait projects by listening to my clients' wishes and ensuring their satisfaction.


Payment and cancellation terms for commissioned works

When I create a commissioned artwork, a 40% down payment is made at the beginning of the work. The price includes VAT of 14%. The remaining amount is paid when the artwork is completed and the customer is satisfied with it. The remaining amount can also be paid in installments, if agreed upon.

Work continues until the customer is satisfied with the final result. Commissioned work is a creative process based on cooperation and open interaction with the customer.

As the creator of commissioned work, I am committed to helping and supporting the customer throughout the process and to completing the work as desired, while maintaining my artistic expression and painting style.

Cancellation terms:

If the customer wishes to cancel the order while the work is already in progress or does not accept the finished artwork without a justified reason, the paid 40% down payment of the total price of the work will be retained. This covers the time spent on design, sketching, and the work process, as well as material costs.

Justified reasons for canceling a commissioned painting or drawing:

-The person painted in the portrait is not clearly recognizable and the artist refuses to make the requested corrections.

-The artwork has been executed with a different material or technique than what was agreed upon and invoiced.

-The artwork has not been delivered by the agreed deadline, provided there was a written agreement on the delivery time in advance.

-The size of the artwork deviates from the agreed size by more than 20 cm on either side, without the change being agreed upon with the customer.

How long does it take to prepare an order?

Oil painting approx. 1 month-2.5 months

Watercolor 2-4 weeks

Acrylic + oil 3-5 weeks

Drawing 1 week

For example, oil painting technique - preparation for painting takes much longer than acrylic or watercolor painting, because the paint takes much longer to dry. Oil painting has many layers and the treatment of intermediate layers must be taken into account. I use high-quality professional painting tools and, for example, an oil painting can give joy and memories to several generations to come.

Can you help with the framing?

I can help with framing by taking the finished work to a framing shop, whose service I use a lot myself.

Does the price include VAT, what is the VAT%?

Yes, VAT is included in the price for online store items. VAT on paintings is 13,5%. Custom work by agreement.

How much does a portrait/commissioned work cost and what does the price consist of?

The price consists of materials and the number of hours spent working. Based on a preliminary discussion with the client, I can estimate the materials, the amount of work and its costs.

There are many different implementation techniques and the price of the work is affected by:

- size of the painting
- technology
- cost of materials
- time spent on work
