Craftsmanship and Timelines

- Reasons for the Time Required for Shipping -

All paintings at Light Atrium are created using oil painting base material and oil paints.

As an exception, some elements in gold and silver may use Liquitex.

Oil painting is a process that requires time for drying, with each layer applied only after the previous one has dried.
This technique involves carefully layering and allowing sufficient drying time between each application, ensuring the highest quality and durability of the artwork.

Allowing sufficient drying time helps avoid issues related to aging, such as peeling or craquelure.
Properly created oil paintings can last over 100 years.
I take the time necessary to ensure that I deliver high-quality works.
That is why Custom-Made and Bespoke orders may take several weeks.

Regardless of the materials used, paintings possess a unique beauty that cannot be fully captured in photographs.
The texture, warmth, and emotional depth are best experienced in person.
I hope you will enjoy these qualities.

For those who wish to minimize waiting time or have specific deadlines for gifts (such as for completions, anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, silver jubilees, graduations, enrollment, etc.), please consider our standard paintings, which are available for immediate shipping.
