FAQs
What does “Sold – One-of-a-Kind Piece” mean?
It means the original painting has been sold and no reproductions are available. Each artwork is unique and only exists in a single copy.
What does “Author's Repetition Available” mean?
It means the original painting has been sold, but the artist can create a new original based on the same idea and composition.
An Author's Repetition is not a print or copy — it's a new, hand-painted artwork by the same artist, with minor differences that reflect the natural process of painting.
