Packaging & Shipping
Carefully Prepared for a Safe Journey
Every original artwork is carefully packaged by hand using professional archival materials to ensure it arrives safely, no matter where in the world it is travelling. My goal is not only to protect the artwork during transit but also to create a pleasant and thoughtful experience from the moment your package arrives.
Works on Paper
Unlike many artworks on paper, my originals are never rolled into tubes. Every piece is shipped flat to preserve the surface and eliminate the need for flattening after delivery.
Each artwork is carefully packed using several protective layers:
-
an archival acid-free protective sleeve
-
lightweight rigid foam board placed on both sides for structural support
-
stretch film to secure the package
-
protective bubble wrap
-
a sturdy corrugated cardboard shipping box
The outer shipping box is additionally wrapped for extra protection during international transit.
Included with Every Shipment
Each package includes:
-
the original signed Certificate of Authenticity
-
a commercial invoice
-
framing recommendations and visual presentation ideas
-
handwritten artwork labels for the back of the frame
-
any additional documentation required for your purchase
At present, my artworks on paper are sold unmatted, allowing collectors to choose a mat color and frame style that best complements their own interior. I am happy to provide framing visualizations to help with this decision.

Canvas Paintings
Canvas artworks are carefully prepared using professional protective materials suitable for international shipping.
As my current collections primarily consist of works on paper, detailed packaging information for canvas paintings will be added as this part of my collection continues to grow.
Order Processing Time
Please allow up to 5 business days for order preparation before shipment.
During this time, I carefully prepare your artwork for safe international delivery. This includes creating custom protective packaging, preparing all accompanying documentation, and, for artworks shipped outside Türkiye, obtaining the required export permit from the Ministry of Culture.
Shipping
Original artworks are shipped from Türkiye via PTT Post with expedited international service and a tracking number.
Tracking is available through the PTT website during the first stages of delivery and continues through your local postal service once the shipment arrives in the destination country.
Estimated delivery times:
Europe: approximately 2–2.5 weeks
United States: approximately 3–4 weeks
Delivery times may vary depending on customs procedures and local postal services.
Import duties
Import duties, VAT, or other local taxes, if applicable, are determined by the destination country and are the responsibility of the collector.
Purchasing an artwork as a gift?
Upon request, I will be happy to prepare your order for gift presentation and can include a personalized handwritten message for the recipient. Please mention your request when placing your order so I can make the experience as special as the artwork itself.
