Custom Painting from Photo, Male Figure Original Art

A very personal, custom made oil painting from your photo.

A very original way of capturing in color on canvas the beauty of your own body or somebody you love. And a very unique gift for your partner or a friend.

I use the photo images of my models only for purposes of creating the painting, and I do not distribute them on the Internet. However, I retain the right to use the photo image of the painting for personal and professional purposes.

Please also note that this is not a portrait painting but a painting of the figure, body, dressed or shirtless/nude. – For Custom Portrait Painting please visit this link.

The advantages of making an original painting from your photo are many:
- You can chose a photo of your liking. The one where you personally like yourself.
- No need to pose long hours in the studio
- It's possible to change or add the background and/or objects
- It's possible to even be depicted as a mythical, historical or a fantasy character – Roman centurion, a saint or a fallen angel... Variations are many.

Before you place your order, please read some insights below.
If your questions are still not answered, feel free to contact me.

How it works:

★ Order & Payment
You make the order and the payment.
Before sending me the photos, please make sure that your payment went through successfully (you should receive an email confirmation).

★ Your Photos
After the order is made and the payment confirmed, you send me the photographs via email.

★ My Confirmation
I will confirm the receipt of your photo(s) within a few hours.

★ Quality of Photographs
Please do not worry about the quality of the photo(s). I do not print them but use them as a reference to create a real handmade oil painting on canvas, canvas board or wooden panel. No matter the quality of the photo(s) it still will be a unique and memorable artwork made just for you.

★ Preferred Photo
If you send more than one photo please do specify which photo you prefer. If you do not specify which photo you like the most, I will select one that suits better the purpose of the painting composition (e.g. placement on canvas).

★ Time
The artwork will be ready in 1 (one) week from the day when the order is placed (meaning the purchase is made, photos are sent and received). Usually it takes two more weeks for the paint to dry after the painting is finished (it depends on the humidity of our weather in Amsterdam, Netherlands where I paint).

★ Suitable Subjects:
- A photo with a human figure (dressed or shirtless/nude)

★ Revisions
I would like to kindly point out that after we agree on the composition and I start working on the painting I do not offer revisions of the artwork during the painting process and also after the painting is finished.

★ Shipment
The painting will be shipped as canvas with stretcher bars if the size of the painting is 30x40 cm (11.8" x 15.7") and it will be shipped in a roll/tube if the size is bigger.

I am very excited to be working with you on this very special oil painting!
