How the Portfolio Review works

The €350 Portfolio Review is work done, not a deposit — it is non-refundable. It needs high-quality images of 3–5 artworks to evaluate the scope, technical direction, and positioning of the practice, and is delivered as a written assessment with clear next steps — where the work stands, what it needs to improve. Includes a 30-minute consultation.

After the review, either side may decide not to continue: I reserve the right to decline the full commission if the artworks are not up to the required quality, and you are equally free to stop there. The balance is only invoiced if we both agree to proceed.

Texts are first drafted on paper and revised in a single continuous document without AI tools. Non-AI and anti-plagiarism proof is provided. A tax-compliant invoice with a valid German VAT number is available on request.

Your details

Required so the invoice carries the correct VAT treatment.

This determines the VAT rate, and — for artworks — shipping and insurance.
