Before ordering
Is this a canvas print?
No. Each reproduction is manually painted in oil on canvas. Brushstrokes and variations in material are part of the rendering.
Why does the medium sometimes differ from the original?
Several originals are painted on a panel or directly on a wall. The reproduction transposes their composition onto a canvas intended to be installed in an interior.
Can I check the result before shipping?
Yes. You receive photographs of the completed painting and can request edits before validating the shipment.
Which location is best?
Its vertical orientation is particularly suitable on a narrow wall, above a console or between two openings.
