How to start a commission?
To begin a commission, simply reach out trough the contact form on my website or email me at i.barylska@yahoo.com. I'll review your request and connect with you to discuss details such as size, style, and any special requests.
I create all my portraits using oil paints on canvas stretched on a wooden frame. This ensures a durable, high quality piece with rich colors and depth.
High-quality, well-lit photos work best. The image should capture your pet's unique features. If you're unsure which photo to use, I'm happy to help you choose the best one.
Turnaround time varies depending on size, complexity, and current bookings. I'll provide an estimated timeline once we discuss your commission. If you have a specific deadline, please let me know in advance.
The price of my paintings depends on several factors, including the size of the canvas, the number of subjects (pets or people), and any special requests. Each piece is a unique, custom artwork created with great attention to detail.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit as 40% of a total price is required to secure your commission. The remaining balance is due upon completion before shipping or pickup.
I offer a variety of standard canvas sizes, from smaller 8"x10" pieces to larger statement artworks. We can discuss what size best fits your space and vision.
Yes! I ship worldwide. Shipping cost depends on the size and destination of your artwork and will be calculated before finalizing your order.
Absolutely! Multiple pets can be included in one artwork. This requires a larger canvas to ensure each pet's details and uniqueness are well-captured.
Of course! If you'd like to include special details - such as a favorite toy, blanket, or meaningful element - just let me know. I'm happy to discuss how we can weave these touches into your portrait.
To keep your portrait in great condition, avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperatures. If needed, gently dust the surface with a soft cloth.
