To commission Tenebrae Studio to create a Master Copy of a specific painting, please send an email with the name of the painter and, if possible, a clear, high‑resolution image of the work you’d like reproduced. Include any relevant details such as preferred canvas size, medium, or special requests so we can accurately assess your project and provide a tailored response.
We also welcome custom commissions. Whether you’re envisioning a portrait, still life, or a piece inspired by your own ideas, Tenebrae Studio will collaborate closely with you to shape a work of art that reflects your vision with classical craftsmanship.

Her work stands apart because every painting is created using the true Old Master oil technique—the slow, layered, luminous method that defined Renaissance and Baroque art. She builds each piece from a carefully prepared ground, through underpainting, and multiple transparent glazes, allowing light to move through the paint the way it does in museum originals. Nothing is rushed, nothing is digital, and nothing relies on modern shortcuts. Each brushstroke is intentional, each layer is cured properly, and each color is mixed with the same discipline used by the historical masters. The result is artwork that doesn’t just look classical, it feels classical, with depth, glow, and craftsmanship rarely seen in contemporary reproductions.

Pricing for master copies and portraits is based primarily on the size of the artwork, since larger pieces require significantly more time, materials, and layered oil‑painting work in the classical Old Master technique. Smaller studies and intimate portraits are the most accessible, while medium and large canvases, especially those involving complex glazing, detailed backgrounds, or full‑figure compositions, reflect the additional craftsmanship involved. Each piece is hand‑painted using traditional methods, so the final cost represents both the scale of the canvas and the depth of work required to achieve a true Old Master finish.
