Commissions

If any of my sold or available paintings that I share with you online touch a certain chord in you, and you desire different sizes or colors, don't hesitate to contact me to discuss custom pieces. While some of the art pieces I create for you may be inspired by my previous artistic creations per your request, they will not be identical to the ones I previously created. In my understanding, it is realistically impossible for me to recreate my own work. The art pieces I create are unique and fully intuitive in that they each organically capture spontaneity along with precise momentum with its raw glimpses of emotions, dispositions and thoughts that engulf me while I'm in the intricate process of creating them.

These are the steps we'll take together if you wish to request commissioned artistic work from me.

1) I offer a free 30 minute live consultation via my Facebook Page (I manage my own business/artist page on Facebook titled with my name, "Otilia V. Gaidos." You can easily find my business page on Facebook my typing my full name, Otilia V. Gaidos.) Alternatively, you can also email me at info@otiliagaidos.com. During the live or email consultation, my goal will be to grasp your vision and understand your preferences such as size and color choice.  To achieve aesthetic harmony, I will also aim to understand your description of the physical environment in which the art will be located. During our consultation, it would be ideal for me to further determine the motivation behind your request for custom artistic creation:  whether there is emotional value or intellectual significance attached to your artistic vision.

2) Following our consultation, I'll successfully translate your artistic vision into a written proposal. My proposal will include an estimated completion timeframe and a quote. It will also mention your option to request a Certificate of Authenticity. I will email you the proposal for your approval and acknowledgement of its approval by you.

3) Once approved, both you and I will sign the proposal ensuring our commitment to fulfill our separate roles: (a) your legitimate and final request for my commissioned work and (b) my execution of your legitimate and final request for my commissioned work.

4) You will then pay the fee as agreed by accessing this website: www.otiliagaidos.com and clicking on Store. Once in the online Store, you will find images of my non-commissioned paintings along with their prices. *You will also see one generic art stock image titled 'Commission' and priced at '$4,800.' The fee does not have to be $4,800 - each artwork is unique. After we both sign the proposal, I will custom-update the fee for you in the 'Commission' rubric, so it will reflect the agreed upon fee for the commissioned piece you agreed to purchase. Click on the 'Commission' button that will have the price you agreed to pay.  You will then be prompted to make a payment online. For any clarifications, please email me.

5) Once you paid the agreed upon amount for the custom art you requested, I will start implementing the proposal: I will complete the art work you requested in the agreed upon timeframe and as specifically directed by you. During the project, I'll provide you with progress pictures and notes.

6) I will ship the custom art I created for you to your location.

7) After you receive the art, you will send me a picture of it. I would be delighted to see the artwork as it blends with your environment.

I look forward to artistically guide you toward the achievement of your artistic dreams.

Cheers!
