Our oil paintings have an excellent quality. Yes, it is difficult to define art quality level because it is a creation. The quality standard we pursue is to keep it as 100% same as the original picture in every detail such as style, the depth of color, brush-stroke and texture.

No machines or canvas-transfer techniques are used. Our trained artists start with a blank canvas and they hand-paint the painting from start to finish using only the best oil paints and linen canvas.

We understand all our paintings are reproduction, so our artists are required not to express their own inspiration on our orders and not to change anything of original paintings or photographs, unless instructed by yourselves..
