Do you ship internationally?

Yes! We ship worldwide from Berlin, Germany. Smaller works have flat rates, and for larger originals I’ll prepare a custom quote. Everything is carefully packed, and I’ll share photos and tracking once your artwork is on its way.

How do commissions work?

I only take on a limited number of commissions each year, and I choose projects that connect with my style and with Baybayin.

Here’s how it usually goes:

1. Reach out: Tap Contact Us and share your idea: the word or phrase in Baybayin, the size, the colors you’re drawn to, and your location.
2. Concept: We’ll align on the direction together. You can even send photos of your wall so I can mock up how it might look in your space.
3. Agreement: Once we’re aligned, I’ll prepare a simple written agreement outlining what we’ve discussed:
   • Artwork size & orientation
   • Number of revisions included and allowed
   • Timeline & estimated completion date
   • Materials & textures to be used
   • Deposit amount & payment schedule
   • Shipping method
4. Deposit: A 50% deposit secures your spot and allows me to begin.
5. Progress shots: I’ll send you watermarked updates along the way so you can see the work take shape.
6. Final payment & shipping: Once you’re happy with the finished piece and the balance has been settled, your artwork will be carefully ship to you.

Do you provide a (COA) Certificate of Authenticity?

Yes! Every Original/Commission and Limited Edition Print comes with a hand-signed COA with a dry seal and issued directly by me, the artist. Each certificate carries a unique code that corresponds only to your piece.

The COA also certifies you as part of the exclusive Guardian of Memory movement, connecting you to a circle of collectors who carry these works into the future.

While I can’t show the full document for security reasons, here’s a blurred preview so you can see its design. Every COA is signed, coded and dry sealed by me personally before being shipped with your artwork.

What’s the timeline for a commission?

It depends on the size and texture. Small works can be finished in weeks, but larger impasto pieces need time to fully cure before they can travel. I’ll always give you a realistic timeframe before we start.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, I do. For commissions, I ask for a 50% deposit up front, with the rest due when the piece is finished.

For available originals, I’m happy to offer 2–3 monthly payments to make collecting easier. Either way, the artwork ships once the final payment is complete.

Do you accept returns?

Original artworks are final sale due to their unique nature and the care invested in creating each piece. However, your trust matters to me.

If your artwork arrives damaged, please contact me within 72 hours with photos so I can assist you with repair, replacement, or a claim through shipping insurance.

How do I care for textured acrylic art?

Treat it like a living piece of history. Keep it away from direct sun and high humidity. Dust it gently with a soft brush, or use a blower for the deeper textures. If framed with glass, clean only the outside.

Is Shipping included in the costs?

All prices already include shipping within Germany and the EU, so you won’t incur extra shipping fees for delivery. Each original artwork is packed securely with protective materials to ensure it arrives safely.

For shipments outside the EU, please be aware that import duties, taxes, or customs fees may apply depending on your country’s regulations. These costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
If you’re unsure about the potential charges, your local customs office can provide accurate information to help ensure a smooth delivery.

What materials do you use? Are they archival?

Yes. Every piece is created with artist-grade acrylics, professional heavy gels, and archival modeling pastes to build the deep, carved textures I’m known for.

All surfaces are properly prepared and sealed with high-quality varnish — UV-protected, age-resistant, and designed to preserve long-lasting color brilliance. This ensures durability, stability, and protection for years to come.

Each artwork is made to archival standards, comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, and arrives gallery-ready and ready to hang immediately.

Collecting art isn’t just about owning a piece, it’s about becoming part of its story, its timelessness and history. Thank you for considering Baybayin art as part of your journey.
