Can I request a custom piece of you work?
For two-dimensional custom artwork within my line of work and visual research, until 200 x 200 cm, commissions are welcome. For sculpture please specify your vision when contacting us. I usually do this type of work within the framework of a very simple legal contract.
I would like to order a corporate gift or a special order for a family portrait or a portrait of my pet.
I suggest you contact a specialized creative professional for that. Beside I love cats, I don't have the skills for that kind of commisions.
Purchasing original artwork
Are you artworks available for purchase?
Yes, there are some pieces are available.
However, some of the work included on this website already belongs to private collections, and some is from my personal collection/archive. I suggest you send a message with your inquiry.
How can I purchase Artwork?
Due to the workflow in my studio, currently it is not possible to purchase artwork through this website. If you are interested in a particular piece, please contact me to inquire about its availability and pricing.
We guide you through selection, pricing, shipping and payment steps. Currently my work is not in auctions or on the secondary market. All commercial management of my work is subject to the laws and regulations of the Swiss Confederation regarding taxes and customs.
How can I be sure I'm buying an original work of yours?
Attached to the artwork you will receive a certificate of authenticity signed and sealed in my own handwriting with the details of the piece in which you have invested.
I liked a piece I saw in a professional - curated online / physical gallery. Can you give me a discount if I buy directly to you?
Unfortunately not, the prices are the same.
Payments and shipments
What are the payment methods? How are bank fees handled?
Payment is accepted via bank transfer within the SEPA region. For payments outside the EU, I use a payment gateway. VAT, taxes and handling fees are included in the final price. I cover all bank fees.
What are shipping options?
Normally with Swiss Post and UPS we can offer insured shipping worldwide. Depending on the value of the item you wish to invest in, shipping may be free.
How is my piece packaged for shipping?
You will receive your selected artwork in a flat, rigid container or box optimized for preservation and shipping. Artworks on canvas can be shipped mounted on a stretcher frame or neatly rolled up in a tube for delivery to your marquetry specialist. We use lightweight and recyclable materials to optimize shipping costs and be environmentally sustainable.
What are the delivery times?
Unframed pieces can be delivered within eight to fifteen business days within the DACH region and Europe. Transatlantic shipments (USA, Latin America, EA, and Asia) are estimated based on regional postal carriers. If you choose to purchase a piece with a custom-designed frame, production times for this may add five business days to two weeks.
Please check our shipping policy on the link below.
Framing
What type of framing should I request?
I highly recommend purchasing my artwork framed. While this involves a production cost and increases shipping rates, this allows me to define the most suitable final presentation for each piece and optimize the packaging for its protection during shipping and for preservation in your art collection.
I work with local suppliers (specialized artisans of the region) who frame my artwork using top-quality, professional materials to optimize its long-term preservation and protect the collector's investment. They generally use wood or aluminum, UV-protected glass and acid-free antischimmel mounting materials. I choose light or neutral colors depending on the specific piece.
Is there a risk of damage during shipping if I purchase an unframed piece?
No, unframed pieces are carefully packed in a rigid box/container designed for air or sea shipments before being placed in the carrier's own packaging.
I don´t like the framing of the pic of the artwork I chose. Can I choose the frame for my piece or frame it myself?
The images of the artworks on this website are digitally superimposed onto the photographs used to document the artwork for informational purposes. While I usually select appropriate frames for each piece, you can also purchase it unframed.
I'd like to choose a frame for one of your pieces that will match my collection/decor. Is this possible?
Sure, please specify in your purchase that you want the piece unframed and you will receive a confirmation of this with your purchase invoice.
However, in this case, I suggest you purchase your piece unframed and go to a professional marquetry/conservator.
