Terms & Conditions
By using this website and placing an order, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Originality and Availability
All artworks available on this website are original, one-of-a-kind, and handmade by the artist.
Each piece is subject to availability and may become unavailable without prior notice.
2. Artwork Imperfections
Due to the handmade nature of the artworks, minor imperfections may occur. These are a natural part of the creative process and are not considered defects.
3. Product Images & Descriptions
I make every effort to represent each piece as accurately as possible through photographs and descriptions.
However, please note that colors may vary slightly due to differences in screen settings.
4. Prices & Payment
Prices are listed in EUR and include any applicable Greek taxes.
Import duties, VAT, or customs fees imposed by your country are not included and are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
Shipping is free for all original artworks.
5. Certificate for Export (Greek Law Requirement)
In accordance with Greek law, all original artworks must be approved for export by the National Gallery of Greece.
This process may delay dispatch by up to one week or more, depending on the issuance of the certificate. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
6. Shipping & Delivery
Orders are shipped via UPS or DHL, depending on the destination.
Once dispatched, you will receive a tracking number via email.
Estimated delivery times are provided at checkout but may vary.
I am not responsible for delays caused by customs clearance, postal services, or other external factors.
Packaging Details
To ensure safe delivery, artworks are packaged according to their size and medium:
-
Paintings larger than 80 x 80 cm are shipped rolled in a tube, wrapped in acid-free glassine museum paper for maximum protection.
-
Smaller paintings are shipped in sturdy carton boxes, mounted on their original stretch bars.
-
Oil paintings on paper are packaged flat, carefully placed between layers of cardboard, and wrapped in acid-free protective paper, then enclosed in a reinforced envelope.
If you have any specific packaging requests, please feel free to get in touch before placing your order.
7. Original Paintings on Display at The Papillon Gallery (UK)
Some of my original paintings are currently on display at The Papillon Gallery in the United Kingdom.
If you purchase one of these pieces, it can be shipped directly from the UK to you, which may help avoid delays.
Alternatively, the artwork can be returned to Greece for certification and shipping from my studio — however, this may take longer due to customs processing and transport logistics that are beyond my control.
Regardless of the route chosen, delivery remains free of charge.
As with all international purchases, any import duties or taxes remain the buyer’s responsibility.
8. Limited Edition Giclée Prints
Limited edition giclée prints are exclusively sold through The Papillon Gallery UK and are dispatched directly from the gallery.
This ensures the highest standards of production and fulfillment.
For this reason, a link is provided on my Prints page, which will redirect you to the Papillon Gallery website to complete your purchase securely.
9. Returns & Exchanges
Returns are only accepted if the artwork arrives damaged. If this occurs, you must contact me within 5 days of delivery, including photos of the damage, packaging, and shipping label.
We will resolve the issue together.
Returns for change of mind and exchanges are not accepted.
10. Privacy Policy
Your personal information is used exclusively to process your order and provide customer support.
Your data is protected and handled in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
For more information, please see the Privacy Policy.
11. Copyright & Intellectual Property
The artist retains full copyright and intellectual property rights for all artworks, even after sale.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or use any artwork or website content for commercial purposes without prior written consent.
12. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Greece and the European Union.
Any disputes will be handled by the courts of Athens, Greece.
