Unapologetic Masterpieces

Elegant. Unapolegetic.

Her muses are an ode to women who carry both grace and strength. They do not exist to be consumed, but to take up space on their own terms. Elegance, in her work, is not fragile — it is a stance. Each portrait reveals beauty as something deeper than appearance: a vessel for dignity, resilience, and quiet power.

Large-scale Oil paintings

Silent Power, Timeless Masterpieces.

Esther’s original works are created on large linen canvases, designed to take up space and transform the room into one of presence and depth. Crafted with the richness of high-quality oil paints, every layer is built slowly, allowing light, texture, and detail to unfold with intention. The scale is not accidental. It invites viewers to step closer, to be enveloped by an atmosphere where elegance meets unspoken strength.

Each piece is both enduring and intimate: a statement in form, and a lasting work of art that holds its own.

    Frequently asked questions:

    Each painting is created on linen canvas, stretched on a traditional wooden frame. For works larger than 200 cm, an aluminium frame is used to ensure stability and durability for it’s size. Every piece is painted with artist-quality oil paints, chosen for their richness and longevity — creating artworks designed to remain vibrant and timeless for generations.

    Original paintings are sold unframed, unless stated otherwise, to allow you to select a frame that complements your space. Giclées are also sold unframed, and we recommend professional framing by a trusted framer to ensure longevity and presentation quality. 

    If preferred, Esther is happy to guide you in selecting the perfect frame together, and can arrange for the work to be delivered fully framed — ready to take its place in your home.

    Original works are large-scale oil paintings on linen, each one a unique creation. Giclées are high-end reproductions, printed on archival Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta paper with museum-quality pigments. Unlike posters, Giclées capture the depth, texture, and luminosity of the original — and are limited editions, certified, signed, and numbered.

    Yes. Commissioned works are tailored to your wishes — whether in scale, colour palette, or mood. You may even choose to become the muse yourself. Each commission is a one-of-a-kind creation, blending your vision with Esther’s signature style. For commission inquiries, please fill out the request form and you will receive a personal response within 72 hours.

    Esther’s paintings are occasionally shown at selected exhibitions. Announcements about upcoming shows will be shared on the website and social channels. Private viewings can sometimes be arranged by appointment.

    Yes. Every original painting — a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece — is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, confirming its singularity and value. Giclées are also issued as certified limited editions of 25, each signed and numbered by Esther to guarantee exclusivity.

    Each Giclée edition is strictly limited to 25 prints. Every piece is hand-signed, numbered, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Once the edition is sold out, it will never be reprinted. Smaller custom sizes can sometimes be requested, but the total number of prints will always remain 25.

    Original oil paintings are finished with a protective UV varnish, but should still be displayed away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve their brilliance. Giclées are archival prints, and we recommend professional framing with UV-protective glass to ensure longevity.

    Payments are securely processed through the webshop via iDEAL, credit card, or PayPal. For larger works or commissioned pieces, tailored payment arrangements can be discussed upon request. Giclées may also be acquired in three flexible installments with Klarna.

    Yes. All artworks and Giclées are carefully packaged in recyclable materials to ensure safe delivery worldwide. Original paintings require a custom-made shipping box for protection, and because oil paint needs time to fully dry before the final varnish can be applied, preparation may take several weeks.

    For this reason, we recommend always inquiring about the estimated delivery time before placing an order. Shipping costs vary by location and will be calculated at checkout. Please allow extra time for international deliveries.

    Giclées are made upon order and typically delivered within 2–3 weeks, depending on your location. Original paintings may take longer, usually 2–6 weeks, as they require a custom-made shipping box and, in some cases, additional drying and varnishing time before they can safely travel. For precise delivery times, please inquire when placing your order, especially for international shipments.
