The process is simple, flexible, and personal — we’ll define everything together.

Ilaria Berenice painting
My experience on canvas

Over the years, I’ve painted hundreds of portraits — from families and children to pets and memories. Each one is a dialogue between emotion and color.

Each commission begins with a shared intention — and a simple process designed to make everything easy and transparent, from our first message to the final brushstroke.

FROM STUDIO TO CANVAS

Format & Delivery

Portraits are created in a single elegant format — 40×40 cm on deep-edge canvas (4.5 cm).
Each piece is hand-painted, signed, includes a certificate of authenticity, and is ready to hang — no framing required.
Worldwide shipping is free.
Every painting is carefully packaged and protected to ensure it arrives safely.

Payment & Process

To begin your custom portrait, a €200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure materials and dedicated studio time.

Once the painting is completed, you will receive a photo preview for approval.
If you’re happy with the result, the remaining balance of €250 is due before shipping.

Each artwork is carefully packaged and shipped worldwide with full tracking.

Timings
Each portrait takes approximately 2–3 days to complete.
Thanks to the fast drying time of water-mixable oils, oil portraits can be delivered within the same timeframe as mixed media works.

Choose your Portrait Style (Mixed media or Oil)

Both styles can be expressive or more detailed — we choose the right approach together based on your photos


Human Hand-Painted Portraits

From timeless realism to expressive abstraction — each portrait reveals the inner life of its subject. Unique, expressive, and spontaneous pieces created intuitively, vibrant and full of energy.




Alongside my mixed media portraits, I also create oil portraits using professional water-mixable oils, which offer the same depth, luminosity, and longevity as traditional oil paints.

Oil Portraits

These works offer a light and depth that only oil painting can achieve. Oil portraits are ideal if you prefer a more detailed, timeless, and refined artwork. I use high-quality water-mixable oils — offering the same richness, depth, and luminosity as traditional oils, but with a cleaner process, faster drying time, and no solvents required.


Pet Portraits

A heartfelt tribute to your beloved companions — hand-painted with emotion and character.



Each portrait is a meeting between art and emotion — carefully crafted to last a lifetime.
