Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sewan also work based on photos?
Absolutely! That works very well. Of course, I don't make an exact copy of a photo, because that would negate the charm of a painted work. A clear photo is essential, though, so I can accurately convey facial features and other important aspects.
How long does it take to complete a portrait?
A custom portrait takes time. I can usually ship a drawing within one week. A painting takes longer, especially if it's painted with oil paint. The layers need time to dry. A painting made with acrylic paint can be delivered faster. I'll discuss with you what's feasible and what's desired.
Can you view work in real life?
This is possible by appointment. Please contact me via the contact form or by phone at +31 6 144 659 66.
Four works are currently on display in the window of Van Loenshof 60 in Enschede. This exhibition runs until August 1, 2025.

REVIEW
" We recently had a painting made by Sewan.
Sewan listened carefully to our wishes and was very helpful in finding solutions. The colors are beautiful and perfectly match our interior, and the details are also exquisite. It now hangs in our living room and adds a special atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique work of art .
