Practical Questions
I rent my apartment / move often. Is art practical for me?More practical than a sofa, actually.
Prints are lightweight and ship in a tube. They travel with you. Editions on canvas are easy to hang and rehang. A single nail, a hook, done.
Many of my collectors rent. Art isn't tied to a mortgage. It's the one thing in your space that's entirely yours regardless of whose walls they technically are.
Can I use your work on social media or share it online?Feel free to share my work on social media with credit (@petergil.studio or a link to petergil.com) for any non-commercial purpose. You're helping me reach new people, and I appreciate it.
What you can't do: use the images commercially, ie. in advertising, on products, in publications, without a separate licensing agreement. The copyright remains with me.
If you're interested in licensing a motif or image for commercial use, let's talk.
I do licensing deals and I'm open to creative collaborations.
Can I see the work in person before buying?
If you can visit: Studio visits are available by appointment in northern Poland (Kociewie region, near Gdańsk). Email me, or let’s set up a quick meet to arrange a time.
If you can't visit: I offer private digital presentations via Zoom or FaceTime for originals and high-value editions. I'll walk you through the work — every texture, every brushstroke, in real light, in real time.
I'd rather you see the work properly than buy blind and wonder. Let's set up a call.
Do you sell NFTs?Not at all. My focus is on physical works like oil on linen, giclée on canvas and paper, as well as hand-embellished editions. Things you can actually hang on a wall and live with.
If digital formats become relevant to the practice, I'll announce it through my mailing list first.
How do I care for the work?General rules for all works:
Hang away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high-humidity areas
Temperature: 18–24°C, stable (no radiators, fireplaces, or drafty corridors)
Humidity: 40–60%
Use soft LED lighting — avoid strong halogen or direct sunlight
Don't touch the painted surface directly
Lift framed works from the sides, never from the top or the canvas
For originals and editions on canvas:
Dust gently with a soft, dry brush if needed
Never use chemical cleaners or water on the surface
If the work needs restoration, contact me — I'll advise on a professional conservator
Detailed care instructions are included with every edition and original.
