MASTER COPIES
Each painting is always accompanied by its own author's certificate
Furthermore, the back of the artwork will include information about the technique used, dimensions, title, and the original artist from whom it was inspired.
As though it were true
what it's about?
I create commissioned copies entirely hand painted, reproducing the most famous works of the great painters of the past.
These are NOT prints on canvas or retouché, but entirely handcrafted works which, from the drawing to the conclusion of the painting, are made following traditional pictorial techniques.
Every detail is crafted with care and precision to provide a museum-quality work. Do you have a favorite artist? Write to me to request a customized quote!

A behind-the-scenes look
What lies behind the creation of a painting? What are the techniques for creating a master copy of a famous artist?
In #workinprogress you can see step by step what the execution of a work consists of, what are the color passages, painting techniques, and much more...
The cracks of time.
Paintings artificially
aged.
What is craquelure, or as it is often called "craquelure" or "craquelé"?
It is the dense network of cracks and small crevices that, over time, forms on the painted surface of a painting. Upon request, it is possible to artificially mimic this effect with specific varnishing in order to achieve that unmistakable antique and lived-in look that we are accustomed to.
This is how even master copy seemingly gain many more years than they actually have.
Linseed oil
but not only...

Each painting is carefully crafted with longevity in mind, with every material carefully chosen for its durability.
Using high-quality oil paints, the copies are meticulously created and then varnished to enhance the colors and shield them from the effects of dust and time.
“The painter, strictly speaking, paints with the eye; his is the art of seeing everything regularly and according to beauty.”
