The price includes the creation of your pet’s portrait, carefully produced using high-quality materials, as well as a gradient background that highlights the main subject. If you would like a more elaborate or customised background, the price may be adjusted depending on the complexity of the requested design. This option will be assessed and agreed upon in advance during the design phase of the project. As a general guide, the following options are available: Simple customised background (+15%): includes small elements that add a personal touch, such as the animal’s favourite toy or other meaningful objects, while maintaining a simple and balanced composition. Medium background (+35%): backgrounds with suggested and softly blurred environments, or compositions that contextualise the subject, such as placing them on a blanket, a cushion, or in a gently defined setting. Complex background (+50%): fully realistic backgrounds, with a high level of detail and an elaborate composition that places the pet within a clearly defined and carefully developed environment.

I work exclusively with high-quality materials to ensure the durability and finish of each portrait. For the support, I use professional papers such as Canson Mi-Teintes Velvet or Clairefontaine Pastelmat, both especially suited for pastel and pencil techniques due to their texture and their ability to hold pigment. As for pencils, I usually work with well-known brands such as Faber-Castell, Stabilo Carbothello, Derwent, or Caran d’Ache, which offer excellent colour quality and precision in detail. For the base layers, I use professional soft pastels, mainly from brands such as Schmincke or Rembrandt, which allow me to gradually build depth and chromatic richness in the portrait. I also avoid using fixative sprays in order to prevent any possible alteration or change in the original colour of the pigments.

The time required depends mainly on the size of the portrait and the complexity of the project. For smaller formats, the artwork typically requires more than 30 hours of work. It is a meticulous artistic process, worked layer by layer to achieve a high level of detail, with special attention given to the texture of the fur, the expression, and the depth of color. For this reason, the minimum delivery time for smaller portraits is approximately one month. This timeframe is also related to the level of detail and care that defines each piece. However, as mentioned above, the delivery time will vary depending on the size of the artwork and the complexity of the portrait.

Yes, I do ship internationally. The shipping cost will be added to the final price of the artwork, depending on the destination. Each portrait is carefully packaged using appropriate materials to ensure that the artwork arrives safely and in perfect condition. In addition, the portrait will include instructions and recommendations for proper framing, with the aim of preserving the artwork and ensuring its best presentation.

Once your turn in the reservation list arrives, I will get in touch with you to review the photographs of your pet and discuss the portrait design proposal together. Once we have clearly defined the final design and delivery timeframe, payment of the remaining balance will be requested, with the €50 reservation deposit deducted from the final amount. The project will begin once this final payment has been completed.

I will guide you on the type of photographs I need in order to create the portrait. Having a high-quality image with enough detail makes the process of creating the artwork much easier. However, please don’t worry if you don’t have perfect photographs. In many cases, I create portraits of pets who are no longer with us, so it isn’t possible to take new pictures. In that case, simply send me all the material you have available, and I will work with it. In addition to the photographs, I like to get to know the subject of the portrait a little better. That’s why I will also ask you for a brief description of their personality and, of course, their name. I love being able to refer to the pets I paint by name.

As this is a personalised and exclusive work, I operate through a commission schedule. To reserve a portrait, a non-refundable deposit of €50 is required, which secures your place on the waiting list. This deposit will be deducted from the final price of the artwork. The reservation guarantees a space in my schedule that, once your turn arrives, I will dedicate exclusively to your portrait, declining other commissions during that period. If you wish, you may contact me beforehand to receive an estimated waiting time. Once the deposit has been made, I will get in touch with you to begin the creative process. During this first conversation, we will discuss the type of portrait you have in mind, I will get to know the subject of the artwork, and I will let you know what materials or references I need in order to begin once your turn in the schedule arrives.
