One finished piece, built from a real place and an old art tradition

Tell me one real thing: a face, a place you love, or a story that is actually yours. I go and look at the old art tradition that answers it, then paint you one finished piece that only exists for you. How it works: 1. You send the brief (a few sentences) and one clear photo if a face is involved. 2. I tell you the honest plan and the honest ceiling before you pay anything. If I cannot do it well, I say so and you walk. 3. The piece: a single high-res file, 7 days, two rounds of revision. What you get: an original image rooted in a tradition I actually studied (Iznik tile, Madhubani, Wixarika yarn, batik tulis, boro mending, Delfts blauw) with the maker's hand left visible, the seam left showing. Nothing smoothed into plastic. What I will not do: children (ever, no exceptions), another person's face without their own yes, or a blur handed over as if it were a photo. Your photos and details are used only for your piece. Never posted. Never kept after delivery.
