Example of commissioned charcoal artwork - Wolf portrait by Enrique Cordero
COMMISSIONS

A custom portrait is a powerful way to preserve memories, capture emotions, and celebrate the people or moments that matter most to you. My goal is to work closely with each client to create a piece that resonates deeply, turning a simple photograph into an artwork that will last a lifetime.

The commission process typically involves:

  • Initial consultation to understand your vision.
  • I work from high-quality photographs to create the portrait. If you need assistance choosing the right photo, I can offer advice on what will translate best into the artwork.
  • I’ll keep you updated on the progress of the portrait so you can see it come to life. My typical turnaround time varies depending on the size and complexity, but it generally ranges from 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Once completed, your portrait will be securely packaged and shipped to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Please note that the artwork is not framed—framing must be arranged by the customer.

Let's create something extraordinary together.


Payment Terms: To begin the process, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required upfront. This secures your spot and covers the initial planning and materials. The remaining 70% is due upon completion of the artwork. Once the final payment is received, your portrait will be securely packaged and shipped unframed, with shipping costs included. Please note that any import taxes or customs duties are the responsibility of the customer.

Pricing for commissions varies based on size, complexity, and medium. To discuss a potential commission or to learn more about the process, please reach out via the contact page or email me directly at enrique.cordero.blanco@gmail.com.
