Each painting is a single, unrepeatable work made by hand in my studio and available to purchase directly. No prints, no reproductions, no multiples.

(why me)

Most art you encounter online has been photographed, digitized, printed, and shipped in bulk. The original exists somewhere else, if it exists at all.

My paintings offer something different.

One painting, one owner

Every work is an original. When it sells, it's gone. I don't recreate sold pieces or produce editions. What you see is the only one that will ever exist.

No intermediaries

You buy directly from me the person who mixed the paint, stretched the canvas, and made every brushstroke. No galleries taking half, no platforms setting terms.

Made without shortcuts

I paint everything by hand. Scales on fish are painted one by one. Fur texture is built up in layers. Backgrounds are reworked until the light feels right. This takes time, and it shows.

(About)

I work on a small number of paintings at once, usually two or three. Each one develops over days or weeks as layers dry, ideas shift, and details accumulate. There's no template, no system - just whatever the painting needs to feel finished.
