Frequently
Asked Questions:
| 1)
What is a Trompe l’oeil-mural? A painting meant to deceive the spectator. Literally 'to cheat on the eye'. |
| 2)
What
is being painted? From traditional themes e.g. landscapes, to abstract work on demand, with a fixed theme. |
| 3) On
which surface? Painted plaster, wood, canvas, exterior walls, concrete etc.. Any surface should be prepared with an SATIN ACRYLIC WHITE paint! |
| 4) Who
determines the theme? Mostly the client, partly us. Then I make a first design, to show. I work on the design until it suits the clients wishes. In some cases clients leave it all to me. |
| 5) In
which room or place do we paint the mural? Any place you want: wall, ceiling, floor, furniture, in any room or outside wall. |
| 6) Can
a mural be painted outside, and is any special paint used? On outside walls I use a best-quality outside paint, to garantee a long mural-life. |
| 7) Must
a mural be 'fixated'? No, I use paint, just like in any paint-job. We work with professional quality-acrylics. |
| 8) How
do you protect a mural? Inside with two layers of varnish to also get an equal gloss, outside a transparent layer is applicated. A varnish outside is useless. |
| 9) Which
paint is used? Acrylic paint- the best professional paint for artists. |
| 10)
How long does a Mural last? As long as a painting on canvas, eternal, unless your house falls down. |
| 11)
What is th price of a mural? (Also visit the
'prices'-page) 250 to 400 Euros per square meter, depending on the complexity of the design. With a minimum of 1000 Euros. VAT: 6% on artwork. |
| 12)
How much time do you put on a painting? A mural of 10 square meters for example, takes about 6 days to paint. The design, research, preparation, etc.. is already done at that moment. |
| 13)
Can you clean a mural? Yes you can, but more interesting would be to taste wine, or have a beer, and enjoy life. Personally, I prefer a good coffee, with a fine biscuit. |
