Every DanixelHood painting is guaranteed to be an original, hand-painted work of art. Our commitment to authenticity is absolute and unwavering.
Our Promise
When you acquire a DanixelHood painting, you can be certain that you are purchasing an original artwork created entirely by hand using traditional oil painting techniques. We guarantee that no mechanical reproduction, printing process, or digital technology has been used in the creation of your painting.
This guarantee extends to every aspect of the work's creation. The canvas has been prepared by hand, the image has been painted stroke by stroke, and the final surface has been varnished using traditional methods. What you receive is exactly what we represent: a unique, original oil painting.
Certificate of Authenticity
Each DanixelHood painting is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. This document provides detailed information about the artwork, including its title, dimensions, materials used, and the artist who created it.
The certificate serves as your permanent record of the artwork's provenance. It includes a unique identification number that corresponds to our internal records, allowing us to verify the painting's authenticity at any time in the future.
We recommend keeping the Certificate of Authenticity with your important documents, as it will enhance the artwork's value for insurance purposes and future resale.
The Artist's Signature
Our artists sign their completed works, typically in the lower corner of the canvas. This signature represents the artist's personal endorsement of the work and their acknowledgment that it meets their professional standards.
In addition to the signature on the painting itself, the Certificate of Authenticity bears the artist's signature, creating a documented connection between the creator and the work.
Documentation and Provenance
We maintain comprehensive records of every painting that passes through our atelier. These records include photographs of the work in progress, materials specifications, and detailed condition reports.
This documentation serves multiple purposes. It provides provenance for future collectors, assists with insurance valuations, and helps us provide accurate information about the artwork throughout its lifetime.
Materials and Methods
Authenticity extends to the materials used in creating our paintings. We use only professional-grade, archival-quality materials that meet or exceed museum conservation standards.
Our canvases are made from cotton or linen, primed with archival grounds. We use oil paints from reputable manufacturers, selected for their lightfastness and permanence. Mediums and varnishes are chosen for their compatibility with traditional oil painting techniques and their long-term stability.
Verification
Should you ever need to verify the authenticity of your DanixelHood painting, we are here to assist. Contact us with your Certificate of Authenticity number, and we can provide confirmation from our records.
In the unlikely event that questions arise about a painting's authenticity, we will work with qualified conservators and authentication experts to resolve the matter. Our guarantee means that we stand behind every painting we sell.
What Authenticity Means for You
Owning an authentic, original oil painting is fundamentally different from owning a reproduction. An original carries the energy of the artist's hand, the subtle variations that make it unique, and the potential to appreciate in value over time.
Original paintings possess a presence that reproductions cannot match. The texture of the paint surface, the way light interacts with the pigments, the subtle color relationships—all of these elements contribute to an aesthetic experience that only an authentic painting can provide.
Our Commitment
We founded DanixelHood on the principle that collectors deserve transparency and honesty. In an art market sometimes clouded by uncertainty, we offer clarity: every painting is exactly what we say it is, created with skill and integrity by a real artist.
This commitment to authenticity is not merely a business policy—it is the foundation of our relationship with you, our collector. We are honored that you have chosen to bring our artists' work into your life, and we take that trust seriously.
