Original vs prints
An original is a unique (or uniquely editioned) work made by the artist. A print or reproduction can be beautiful — but it is not the same kind of object.

What “original” usually means here
On this marketplace, artists list works they created. Ask about medium, whether the piece is unique, and if any certificate is available.
Limited editions should state edition size. Open reproductions are not originals.
Why the difference matters
Originals carry the artist’s hand, material choices, and scarcity. Prices and care needs differ from mass prints.
If you want a one-of-a-kind piece for your home, filter for originals and read the description carefully.
Ask clear questions
Contact the artist if the listing is unclear. Confirm uniqueness, materials, and what you will receive.
Agree payment and shipping directly with the artist.
FAQ
- Are all listings unique paintings?
- Most listed works are originals, but always read the page and ask the artist if unsure.
- Can a print still be valuable?
- Yes, especially signed limited editions — but they are a different category from a unique painting.
