    The Piece

    Carved, not printed.

    Send us a photo of the people you want to keep close. The artist lays out the composition on a black-lacquered wood panel and sends it to you for approval, then carves the dark surface away, line by line, until faces, hair and expressions appear in the warm grain underneath.

    Several people from different photos can be brought together in one composition. Every piece is framed in black solid wood and ready to hang.

    Technique
    Hand-carved line by line. No printing, no laser.
    Surface
    Black-lacquered wood panel; the carved lines reveal the natural grain.
    Frame
    Black solid wood, included. Arrives ready to hang.
    Tamaños
    Small, Medium, Large, or your own size
    Approval
    Sketch on the panel approved by you before carving
    Edition
    One of one. Never reproduced.

    Preguntas

    Before you commission

    Can you put people from different photos together?

    Yes. Send a photo of each person and the artist will compose them into one scene. You approve the layout before any carving starts.

    ¿Cuánto tarda?

    It depends on the size and the detail in your photo. A large piece can take well over a hundred hours of carving. We confirm the timeline with you before carving starts. Need it by a date? Tell us before you order.

    How does a custom size work?

    Choose Custom, enter width and height in centimetres or inches, and the price updates instantly. Sizes are overall dimensions with the frame.

    What if I don’t like the sketch?

    We revise it with you until you are happy. Carving only starts after your approval, because a cut in the wood cannot be undone.

    Can I send my photo later?

    Yes. Add to cart without a photo and send it after checkout by email, WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook.

    The eyes made me put the box down and just look.

    The hands were what I cared about most. They’re beautifully done.

    Tess Brennan

    I bought this with my sister and we kept going back and forth on the reference. I'm glad we picked the unposed one. The portrait has Dad’s usual squint and the little tilt he makes when he’s listening.

    Australia

    Miles Sutton

    Quietly beautiful. I keep noticing more around the eyes.

    They got my mum’s half smile exactly right.

    I chose a photo of Mum from a Sunday lunch, not the portrait we usually use. She's looking off to the side and about to laugh. I was afraid the expression would disappear when the image was simplified for wood. The artist kept the little lift in one cheek, and my brother noticed it before I could point it out. The frame is simple and I'm glad of that. It lets the face hold the room on its own.
