Your idea, on canvas
Your idea, on canvas.
Turn your photo, your sea or that corner you don't want to forget into a one-of-a-kind painting, hand-painted by Rocío Arrupe in her Málaga studio.
More than a painting: the trace of a moment you don't want to forget.
Some walls ask for more than a print. They ask for the exact blue of the sea where you said yes. The light of that terrace in Lisbon. The reflection of the boat your father used to draw from memory. That's what I paint: your ideas, your moments, your home. Acrylic on canvas, hand-painted in Málaga.
From your memory to canvas in 4 steps.

Send me a photo or tell me about that moment you don't want to forget. Through the form, in under a minute. No obligation.
We design the painting
I'll suggest a palette, format and composition. I always paint in acrylic on canvas. Once we approve it, the magic begins.
I paint by hand in Málaga
Between 3 and 8 weeks, depending on size and detail. I share progress shots so you feel the painting grow.
It arrives at your wall
Carefully packaged, with certificate of authenticity and worldwide shipping. You unwrap it and hang it.
Paintings that hang on walls, stories that stay.
"I'm from Málaga and this park is one of my favourites. Rocío's captured the light I've seen there so many times. Spot on, exactly how I remember it. Really happy I commissioned the painting."
"I'm Dutch and I wanted to give my wife a painting of the street in Amsterdam where she's lived her whole life. I sent Rocío a photo and she pulled the whole feel of the city out of it. It's a one-of-a-kind gift. We're so happy with it."
"I live in Madrid and I'm crazy about jacarandas. I asked Rocío to paint that square where they completely steal the show. It hangs in my hallway now and it feels like having a piece of May all year round."
One unique painting — yours alone or shared between the people who love them.

Tip: among 4 people, a small painting (€400) is €100 each. A unique gift for less than a dinner out.

What people ask before we start.
How much does a custom commission cost?
I always paint in acrylic on canvas. Indicative prices: small (up to 40×30 cm) from €400, medium (up to 70×50 cm) from €700, large (up to 100×80 cm) from €1,000, extra large (over 100 cm) by quote. You'll get a written quote before we start, no surprises.
How long does it take?
Between 3 and 8 weeks from when we approve the sketch, depending on size and technique. If it's a gift with a deadline, mention it in the form and we'll plan around it.
What if I don't know what I want?
That's the most common case. We talk, we look at references together, I'll show you palette and format. Helping you decide is part of my job.
Can I see the painting on my wall before buying?
Yes. Send me a photo of your wall and I'll send back a real-scale mockup. It's free and usually takes 1-2 working days.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, I ship to more than 30 countries. Careful custom packaging and tracked shipping. Shipping costs are calculated by destination and are not included in the painting price — I'll quote you the exact cost before closing the commission.
How does payment work?
I take a 30% deposit when you approve the sketch, and the remaining 70% before shipping. Bank transfer, Bizum (Spain) and card accepted. One-time payment is also possible. Invoice always included.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
I don't start painting until you approve the initial sketch. During the process I share progress shots so we can adjust before finishing — most details can be retouched before closing the piece. By the unique nature of a commission (one-of-a-kind, made just for you), standard returns don't apply, but I commit to making sure it turns out right for you.
What if I'd rather have a painting that's already done instead of a commission?
Perfect, I also paint without commission. Tell me in the form and I'll email you what's available that might suit you.
Start the painting of your life.
No obligation, no endless forms. Just tell me what you have in mind and I'll take care of the rest.
