I offer commission paintings. I don’t just paint pictures, I paint your story.

When you commission a painting from me, it begins with you. Your life, your journey, the things that have shaped you… and sometimes even the things that are still unfolding.

When I paint, I weave in symbolism, details that speak about who you are beneath the surface.

Sometimes, clients come with something more intangible: a sense of where they are going, or who they are becoming. In those cases, I create a visualisation of a future not yet seen, but deeply felt.

As I work, I hold not only your story in mind, but also your space. The colours, the scale, the atmosphere of your home… all of it matters. This piece should belong to you in every sense, not just emotionally, but aesthetically too.

If you’d like, I can share a visual concept beforehand, so you have a sense of what’s taking shape. But interestingly, most people choose not to see it. They prefer the moment of discovery — the experience of being surprised by something that was made just for them.

This is a collaborative process, but also an intuitive one. My role is to listen carefully, to notice what isn’t always said, and to translate that into something you’ll want to live with, reflect on, and return to over time.

If that resonates with you, then we’re already beginning.

Getting started is simple. You can reach out to me by sending an email to elizeroelofse@gmail.com.

From there, we can schedule a call, or you can share what you have in mind and we’ll take it from there, discussing the timeline and shaping the process together to create a painting that truly fits your home and your heart.

What’s your pricing model?

I keep my pricing simple and transparent. It’s based on the size of the painting, calculated by adding the width and height (in centimetres) and multiplying that total by 6. This is a common method used in Europe, where the sum of the dimensions is multiplied by a set factor based on the artist’s experience.

For example, a 50cm × 50cm painting would be calculated as:
50 + 50 = 100
100 × 6 = €600

A round painting is calculated as if it were a square. For example, a 50 cm diameter painting is priced the same as a 50 × 50 cm painting.

Deposit
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required upon confirmation of your commission. This allows me to begin your painting, cover materials, and secure your place in my schedule.

VAT
All prices listed above include VAT.

Payment plan
The 50% deposit is required upfront. The remaining balance can be paid monthly over a period of up to 12 months, if that suits you better.

This gives you a clear starting point, and we can always adjust the details together to fit your vision and your budget.

What’s it like to work with you?

Working with me is a collaborative and intuitive process.

It begins with a conversation. I take time to listen to your story, your ideas, and sometimes even the things that are harder to put into words. You don’t need to have everything figured out. Many people come with just a feeling or a sense of what they’re drawn to, and we shape it together from there.

As the process unfolds, I hold both you and your space in mind. The painting is not only about meaning, but also about how it will live in your home—how it feels, how it settles into the room, and how it becomes part of your everyday life.

Some clients like to be closely involved along the way, while others prefer to step back and wait for the finished piece. There’s room for both. I can share a visual concept beforehand if you’d like, but many people choose to keep it as a surprise.

Throughout it all, my role is to translate what I sense and hear into something visual. Something that feels personal, layered, and true to you.

It’s a process that unfolds and one that often means more than people expect when they first begin.

The timeline depends on several factors, such as the medium (for example, oil paint requires a longer drying time), the complexity of the piece, and my current workload.

In general, most paintings take between 4 to 12weeks to complete. Larger or more detailed works, as well as pieces in oil, may take a little longer.

Once you reach out, I will be able to provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific project and my current schedule.
