When you purchase an original painting, you are not just buying art—you are acquiring a piece of the artist’s journey. Each brushstroke, each vibrant color, is a testament to the countless hours of dedication, observation, and passion that went into creating the work. An original painting is a unique expression of emotion and creativity, something that cannot be replicated. It brings with it a connection to the artist and a story that continues to unfold with each glance. Owning an original piece is an investment in both beauty and originality—a way to celebrate the uniqueness that defines us all.

Why collectors choose an original

An original is a single, unrepeatable object: the actual paper or canvas I worked on, with the pigment, the water marks and the decisions of one afternoon in the studio. Each painting is signed, comes with a certificate of authenticity, and is photographed and documented before it leaves me. Reproduction rights stay with the artist, which protects the value of your piece.

Art as a distinguished gift

My originals are often chosen when a gift has to carry weight: for ambassadors and official guests, for partners and retiring colleagues, for the lobby of a boutique hotel or the office of someone who has everything. A painting of an animal, a bird or a flower speaks every language, and I am happy to help you choose a subject, a size and a framing that suit the occasion.

Commission a painting

If you would like a portrait of your dog, your horse or a bird that means something to you, I take a limited number of commissions each year. Tell me about the subject and the size you have in mind.

Questions collectors ask

How do I know the painting is an original?

Every original is signed on the front and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. The listing shows the exact piece you receive, not a sample.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Paintings are shipped worldwide from the studio in Bulgaria, flat in rigid packaging or rolled in a tube for larger works, always with tracking.

Can I buy a print of a painting that is already sold?

Most originals are available as limited edition fine art prints, signed and numbered. Look for the print listing or write to me.

Is the frame included?

Originals are sold unframed unless the listing says otherwise, so you can choose a frame that suits your interior. I am glad to recommend framing options.
