Commission a painting

A commissioned painting is something personal and made especially for you. My goal is to create artwork that feels timeless, meaningful, and special—something you can enjoy and cherish for years to come.

All of my paintings are made to last for generations using high-quality, archival materials: ACM panels, professional oil paints, and protective varnishes.

Exemples of commissions:

  • Single-person portrait or group portrait

  • One or more full human figures

  • Pet portrait.

  • A scene from a film, anime or manga

  • Landscape

  • Master copy

The process ✧

∘ From Start to Finish ∘

1.

Fill in the contact form below to request a commission. Include all the photos you’d like me to consider.

2.

I'll get in touch to discuss any extra details.

Please note, the timeline starts when I begin your painting, not when you submit your request. I’ll give you an estimated start date based on my current waitlist.

3.

Once we agree on the details, I will send you a contract to sign to ensure protection for both of us.


The contract covers the right of refusal, copyright, artist reproductions, payment terms, future responsibilities, and shipping.

4.

Once the contract is signed, a 50% deposit is required to begin your commission. Payments will be made via Wise

After the painting is finished, we can proceed with the full payment before shipping.

5.

When requesting your commission, please keep in mind that both the painting and drying times can vary. I need to ensure the painting is completely dry before shipping.

  • Painting time: Typically 1–3 weeks.

  • Drying time: Once finished, the painting needs about 3–5 weeks to dry. Afterward, I apply a protective varnish.

Shipping: Your painting will be sent via UPS, DHL or FedEx, depending on the destination.

6.

Once the final payment is received, I’ll carefully pack your artwork to keep it safe during shipping

I am always happy to adjust to your budget and find a way to make it work. Thank you for trusting me on this project!

  • My experience recently working with Alexandre was nothing short of wonderful.  I reached out to him on Instagram to inquire about commissioning a painting of my niece for my mother, and honestly cannot be happier with the result. Not only is my painting beautiful, but the experience from start to finish was a pleasure.  Alexandre is so talented, kind, responsive, respectful, considerate and understanding of a client’s wishes. He captured my niece’s essence perfectly and really heard my requests. Additionally, international shipping of the item was extremely quick and it was packaged wonderfully ensuring safe delivery.  I am so happy to know his work will be displayed on the walls in our family home for years to come. I would highly recommend this work of such a kind person to anyone. Thank you Alexandre!”

  • Working with Alexandre on a commissioned piece was an absolute delight. From the first point of contact to the last, each was professional, detailed and helpful. We collaborated a bit prior to finalizing the direction of the piece and each conversation was seamless. Additionally, the commission included our faces with accuracy and brilliance. I am so excited to showcase the piece in my home. I highly recommend working with Alexandre and would not be surprised if I work with him again on something new.
