For my paintings on canvas, you don’t need an additional frame. The edges are either painted or printed (in the case of art prints), and the piece is ready to hang immediately. Works on paper, however, should be framed. Typically, I deliver my paper artworks unframed, as tastes vary and the frame should match your interior. If desired, I can, for an additional fee, order a suitable frame for the specific piece and deliver both together. Just contact me so we can find the best solution for you.

Canvas paintings, as well as (in exceptional cases) already framed paper works, are ready to hang right away. They come either with a picture hook or a hanging wire, allowing you to balance the artwork on your wall. For most pieces, a single nail in the wall is sufficient—only for larger works from 90 cm and up (especially in landscape or square formats) do I recommend using two nails for extra stability. Drilling a hole in the wall is not necessary.

If you choose to purchase your own frame to frame a canvas or paper artwork, please follow the instructions included with the frame, as it may require a different approach than the one I suggest.

Some of my paintings are also available as art prints, where an image of the original painting is reproduced, for example on paper or canvas. Some prints have open editions and can be reproduced and purchased as often as desired, while others are limited editions, restricted to a small number of copies (this is indicated in the respective product description) and are often further refined by me by hand, for example with individually added gold highlights.

Art prints are a wonderful way to immerse yourself in my artistic world and get to know my work—especially if you don’t yet own any original art. I have to be honest: once someone experiences and appreciates original paintings, they usually don’t want to hang prints anymore.

Since I work with mixed media techniques, a variety of materials, and often many layers, art prints can only ever be an approximation of the original. Not all details can be represented in a print the way they appear in the original painting—whether it’s texture paste, which can only be printed flat, the vibrant oil colors that give the original its depth, or gold highlights that make the original reflect and glow, which the print cannot replicate. An original painting always radiates more than a print, as every brushstroke is visually and tangibly present, allowing you to get lost in it for hours.

Yes, in individual cases this is possible. However, the artwork will remain with me until the final payment has been made. Installment payments are currently not available through the shop, and an additional fee applies for this option. If you’d like to use this option, feel free to contact me directly—I can then make you a personalized offer for the piece you’re interested in.

The decision of whether a mixed media painting on canvas or on paper is right for you ultimately rests entirely with you. Sometimes you simply fall in love with a particular piece—and the medium becomes secondary.

I offer paintings on different media and in various formats: Mixed media works on canvas can be hung immediately and do not need framing. All canvas paintings are painted on the edges, and most come with a hanging wire on the back, allowing you to hang the piece professionally on a wall hook. My paintings are predominantly created on high-quality stretcher frames with wide edges. These canvases are not only of excellent quality, but the wide edges also give them a refined, elegant appearance.

Perhaps your taste leans more toward framed, flatter works? My paintings on paper (mostly in standard DIN formats) usually come unframed, as the frame is a matter of personal taste and should match your interior. In these cases, you purchase a frame individually and can frame and hang the piece as you wish. However, if you prefer a complete package with both artwork and frame, it is also possible for me, in consultation with you, to order a suitable frame and send you the finished framed piece (prices upon request). A frame naturally adds an elegant look to a piece—but it will always create some reflection, even if you choose an anti-reflective option when purchasing.

Personally, I feel that an unframed canvas painting invites the viewer in and “pulls” them into its world, whereas a framed paper artwork projects outward and reflects into the room.

The standard formats for my canvas mixed media paintings are (in cm): 50×50, 50×60, 50×70, 60×80, 60×90, 70×100, and 80×80 cm, with most works created in portrait orientation (though some are horizontal). For my paper works, I most commonly use DIN A2 and DIN A1 formats. If you commission a custom painting from me,you are, of course, welcome to choose other formats in consultation with me.
