What makes a painting original

Original means the brush touched it. The hand was mine. There is one of it. That's the rule, here in the studio.

What makes a painting original

When I say original, I mean exactly that. One painting. One canvas. One signature. No prints. No factory. No second version that looks the same.

I sometimes do small series, two or three pieces around the same idea. They are still each original, each painted alone, never copies. You'll see slight differences if you put them side by side.

If you want the same piece, we discuss a custom commission. It will be a sister, not a twin.
