Yes. Small original paintings can be an excellent starting point for a collection. They are easy to display, usually easier to frame and more accessible than larger works.

They work particularly well on shelves, desks, intimate walls, gallery walls and in smaller interiors. Many of the smallest works are direct plein-air studies painted outdoors in changing light.

No. Artistic value is not determined by dimensions alone.

A small painting can be complete, serious and expressive. Small plein-air studies often have a particularly direct and concentrated quality because they preserve quick decisions, observed colour and changing natural light.

A painting listed in the shop without a Sold notice is available to purchase.

Previously sold or unavailable works may remain visible in the paintings archive as part of the artist’s body of work, but cannot be ordered again as original paintings.

A short reservation may be possible in an individual case. A painting is not considered sold until payment or an agreed deposit has been received.

For a reservation concerning a particular work, contact Andrea Bocedi .

Yes. Sold paintings are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity confirming the artist, title, medium and dimensions of the artwork.

Economy or standard shipping is free for most paintings and destinations.

The final shipping method and cost, including any free-shipping option available for the order, are calculated and displayed at checkout before payment.

When a shipping charge applies, it may depend on:

• the destination,
• the size and weight of the artwork,

• the selected delivery method,
• available carrier services.

The final delivery options and total cost are shown during checkout before the order is placed.

Delivery time depends on the destination and selected shipping method.

Economy delivery normally takes longer, while courier services provide faster delivery where available. The relevant delivery information is displayed during checkout.

A short period may also be required to prepare and pack the original artwork safely before dispatch.

First check that the complete delivery address, country and postal code have been entered correctly.

If no delivery option appears after entering the complete address, send the painting title and destination country through the contact page so that delivery possibilities can be checked individually.

International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes or local handling fees imposed by the destination country.

These charges are determined by local authorities and, unless clearly stated otherwise during checkout, are not included in the painting price or shipping charge.

Each painting is packed according to its size, support and destination.

The painted surface, corners and edges are protected carefully, and the artwork is secured inside suitable external packaging to reduce movement during transport.

Personal collection may be possible by prior arrangement. Details should be agreed before placing the order.

Paintings are sold framed or unframed depending on the individual artwork.

The product page states whether a frame is included. If the work is described as unframed, any frame shown in an interior mock-up or presentation image is not included.

Interior mock-ups are intended to help visualise how a painting may look in a room. They are illustrative and may not represent the artwork’s exact scale.

Always check the dimensions stated on the individual product page before purchasing.

Currently available payment methods are displayed during checkout. The complete total is shown before the order is confirmed.

No. Screen brightness, colour settings, room lighting and device type can affect how colours appear.

Product photographs are prepared to represent each painting as accurately as possible, but slight differences between a screen image and the physical artwork are normal.

Yes. Custom pet portraits can be commissioned from photographs.

Each portrait is painted by hand in oil as an original artwork, with attention to the animal’s character, expression, colouring and presence.

Yes. A custom dog portrait can be created from a good-quality photograph.

Clear photographs with natural light, visible eyes, accurate colouring and a characteristic expression usually provide the strongest reference material.

Yes. Pet portrait commissions are not limited to dogs. Cats and other animals may also be painted, depending on the quality of the reference photographs and requested composition.

The strongest reference photograph is usually:

• clear and reasonably sharp,
• taken in natural or neutral light,
• photographed near the animal’s eye level,
• free from strong filters,
• detailed around the eyes and face,
• representative of the animal’s normal colouring and character.

Photographs taken from far above, in very dark conditions or with strong wide-angle distortion are usually less suitable.

Sometimes. Several photographs may be used when one image shows the best pose while another provides clearer information about the eyes, colouring or markings.

The photographs must be compatible enough to create a believable and coherent portrait.

Portraits containing two or more animals may be possible. A larger format is normally recommended so that each animal can be represented clearly.

The final format and price depend on the number of animals and the complexity of the composition.

A custom pet portrait usually takes approximately one to three weeks, depending on its size, complexity and the current workload.

Additional time may be required for the oil paint to become safe to handle, pack and ship. The approximate schedule is confirmed before work begins.

Yes. A non-refundable deposit is required before work begins on a custom portrait.

The remaining balance, format, composition and other commission details are agreed before the painting process starts.

A photograph of the completed portrait can be provided before final dispatch.

Small differences between the photograph and physical painting may occur because of lighting and screen settings.

Reasonable feedback can be discussed during the agreed approval stage.

Major changes to the composition, pose or reference image after painting has begun may require additional work and may affect the price or completion time.

The best size depends on the wall, furniture, viewing distance and visual role of the painting.

Small paintings are suited to intimate spaces, shelves, desks, side walls and arrangements containing several artworks.

Paintings from approximately 20 × 30 cm can already function as independent focal points in smaller interiors. Medium and larger works create a stronger presence and generally benefit from more surrounding space.

A small plein-air study is often painted outdoors in a relatively short session. It can preserve immediate decisions, changing light, weather and direct observation.

A larger or more developed painting may involve a more complex composition, additional paint layers and longer studio work. Both are original paintings, but they represent different intentions and categories within the artist’s practice.

A plein-air painting is created directly from observation outdoors, often while the natural light and weather are changing.

A studio painting may be developed from photographs, sketches, previous studies and direct experience of the location. Studio work allows more time for compositional changes, layering and larger formats.

An original oil painting is a physical work created by hand. It contains real paint, layers, brushwork, texture and subtle variations across the surface.

A print reproduces the image of an artwork but does not contain the same paint surface or material qualities as the original.

Yes. The work includes Italian landscape paintings inspired by Tuscany and Sardinia.

Recurring subjects include Tuscan hills, Pienza, cypress trees, historic architecture, evening light, Sardinian coastlines, beaches, rocks, turquoise water and changing Mediterranean weather.

Yes. Polish landscapes and local views are an important part of the work, including rural scenery, rivers, winter landscapes, architecture and quieter everyday motifs shaped by light and atmosphere.

Yes. Architectural subjects include Italian churches, historic façades, palaces, streets, monasteries and buildings from Poland and other European locations.

Selected sold paintings may remain visible in the paintings archive as part of the artist’s body of work.
