If you're like us, you commission an artwork, online, extremely rarely. So, the experience is one that has a high degree of anxiety, especially after a disastrous previous experience. In that, we never accepted the finished product, which could only be described as a complete joke, bearing no resemblance to what was displayed online.
After as much research as possible and studying the pedigree of the potential organisations, we decided to go with Van Gogh Studio. Even that carried some misgivings, as the original painting was not a Van Gogh or even a like genre.
Erik, at Van Gogh Studio, was very good at communicating and responding to questions promptly, as necessary. He also pointed out differences in interpreting an old master, from a large wall, onto a smaller canvas, to ensure our expectations were set correctly. We were given a greater level of hope that the final product would be a close match to what was displayed online.
We don't usually write reviews, especially long ones, but suffice to say, we feel that we owe it to Van Gogh Studio and Erik in particular. The reason? The painting that arrived yesterday was every bit good as our expectations and better than our best hopes. It really is a work of art, as displayed online, but when seeing the actual oil on canvas, the reality of what's involved in its creation, hits home.
So, with a great sense of relief and gratitude, we congratulate the team at Van Gogh Studio. Every aspect our dealings, right down to the packaging and delivery, were exemplary. Many thanks for doing what you do so well. We are more than happy to recommend your work.
The sweetest painting ever. Love the brushstrokes, love everything about it.

Wonderful quality and beautifully painted. The whole process was smooth, and I’m very pleased with the result.

Really happy with my hand-painted reproduction of The Potato Eaters. The colours and brushwork are beautiful, and it has so much more character than a print. It looks fantastic on the wall and feels very close to the original.
Erik has gorgeous framed and unframed Van Gogh reproduction paintings that allow you to feel like you have an amazing $200 million dollar painting to look at every day in your own home.
Lets be real. The person who pays that kind of money for an original painting puts it into a temperature controlled safe where it won't degrade and can't be stolen, and then asks Erik to make a copy to hang in their home to show off as the original.
I absolutely love it!!!!
Thank you!

It is truly beautiful—so delicate and even more impressive than I expected.
I sincerely appreciate your wonderful work and effort. Thank you very much.

Thank you Van Gogh studio and Erik for making it possible for me (and likely so many others who appreciate art) to enjoy a beautiful masterpiece in my own home. The oil-based reproduction is of superb, museum-quality.
Furthermore, Erik was very kind and professional making the entire experience most pleasant. The painting was very carefully packaged for the long-distance shipment and arrive in impeccable condition. I came across this studio after a very extensive, in-depth research and it came at the top. I encourage anyone that finds the great works of art fascinating to explore the many beautiful paintings that Van Gogh studio can offer you, and at a very reasonable price.
