🎨 Commissioned Work

A painting is not just made — it’s invited in.

A commissioned work is more than a request; it’s an unfolding. A quiet conversation between your vision and my hands, where personal stories meet ancient materials, and intention becomes form.

Each piece I create is rooted in slowness, ritual, and materials that carry time within them. I work exclusively with antique linen, hand-mixed oil pigments, genuine gold leaf, and other rare, storied elements. These are vessels of memory, light, and transformation — shaping a world that is both tactile and ethereal.

No two commissions are ever the same. What you bring — an idea, a feeling, a palette, a space — becomes the seed. From there, I listen: to you, to the material, to the invisible thread that ties the work to its future home. Some pieces speak softly; others arrive boldly. All are created with care, intention, and reverence.

🌿 A note on the process

To honor the depth and focus this work requires, I begin my creative involvement once a commission is officially booked through my agents. This boundary protects the sacred space where your piece will take shape, and allows me to stay fully present in the making.

Commissions are accepted on a limited basis and scheduled via waiting list. I also collaborate with same.interiors — one of the most thoughtful interior design studios in Portugal and internationally — creating works that live within the soul of a space, not simply upon its walls.

If this resonates with you, please reach out to Lysa & Taya. They are warm, professional, and deeply aligned with my values and rhythm.

This is slow art, made with devotion — for those who seek something lasting, personal, and quietly powerful.
