Commissions

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, in ritual, and in the soulful qualities of 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 not just materials — they are vessels of memory, light, and transformation. Through them, I shape 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, and to the invisible thread that ties the work to its future home. Some pieces speak softly, others arrive boldly. But all are created with intention, care, and a sense of reverence for what we’re making together.

Commissions are accepted on a limited basis and scheduled according to a waiting list. I also collaborate with one of the best interior designers same.interiors in Portugal and international , creating works that are deeply woven into the character of a space — not as ornament, but as quiet presence.

If you feel called to commission a piece, please reach out to my agent, Lysa. She will be your first point of contact throughout the logistic part of the journey — answering your questions and guiding you with care through each step of the process.

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