Questions & Answers about Painting Reproduction

How long does a painting reproduction last?

There are no limits to the durability of classic oil and modern acrylic paints. Oil paints and acrylic paints are very lightfast. In older paintings, the varnish darkens after approx. 100 years. For very old paintings, it makes sense to refresh the surface so that the colors shine again. For an elaborate and faithful art copy, I use materials and colors of the respective period. FOR EXAMPLE. Glue-primed canvas, mixing the colors with pigments. This sometimes requires extensive research in advance.

Where is the best place to hang a painting reproduction?

To ensure that the picture does not suffer over many years, it makes sense not to expose it to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Pictures like a shady place with moderate temperature fluctuations, and the humidity should remain reasonably constant. Faithful reproductions of original paintings also enjoy changing places and walls, so that they can delight the viewer's loving gaze again and again. I would be happy to measure your walls on site to find the ideal size.

What formats are possible?

I can paint your painting reproduction in any size. Starting with the small format 15 x 15 cm, through medium formats, to oversized formats, such as 300 x 400 cm. As a trained theater painter, I can also paint your picture in facade size, e.g., 500 square meters. Your reproduction will be created exactly to the proportional size of the original picture if you wish. I am also happy to paint it in the size of your choice.

Which painting reproduction for which room?

I would be happy to paint your painting reproduction to match your rooms. This means that you send me a photo of your rooms and together we select the best picture for your walls. Sometimes a golden frame is more suitable than a black frame. Or I can design the picture in the colors of your choice. There are no limits to your imagination. I would be happy to assist you in your search to find the right painting.

What is the best painting reproduction?

The best prerequisites for a successful painting are many years of experience, a confident handling of the materials and the artist's spatial imagination. Other prerequisites are the research that is sometimes necessary in advance, the relevant budget and the appropriate time frame for realization. That's why I ask: does the motif work? To what extent does the original match the painting? In what context will the painting hang?

How do I transport and store a painting reproduction?

It is best to store a painting for a longer period of time, wrapped in bubble wrap, in a dark and dry place. To protect the painting from dust and other influences, it makes sense to repack it. Packaging in bubble wrap and cardboard wrapping is suitable for transportation. The corners should be protected. This way you and your descendants will be able to enjoy your painting for a long time to come.

Is a painting reproduction the same as an original?

A painting reproduction can be very close to the original. This requires research and the stylistically confident use of the materials and colors employed. A painting reproduction is an image and an attempt to depict the original as accurately as possible. The similarity achieved is very impressive. The feel of the surface, the smell of a picture, and the touch of contemporary history hold a great appeal. The freshness of the colors and the change in the room are astonishing.

What do I need for an order request?

For a custom painting reproduction, I need the desired image size and a brief description of the motif. It is best to send me the image directly by email.

You are also welcome to visit me personally in my studio in Erfurt.

Each work is created according to a specific template - with the utmost care and attention to detail. This is how I guarantee a high-quality, artistically convincing result.

Using the photos I sent him, he created a charming sketch of my daughter with her two cats and then turned it into a painting. The surprise and the incredible joy in my daughter’s eyes when she saw the painting say it all. Many thanks to Nikolaus Kriese from Claudia in Berlin

It was beautiful and despite the bad pictures I unfortunately had available for Mr. Kriese, he had made the best of it, as if he knew this person. This man knows what he is doing and has real talent. Simply beautiful. Thank you very much Mr. Kriese!

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I have already bought several pictures from Nikolaus. He is an incredibly talented artist who knows how to respond to his customers. In addition to the extensive range of commissioned paintings, he also has his own art which is definitely worth looking at.
The formats are often large and fit perfectly in offices or living rooms!
I am extremely happy with the paintings and love looking at them.
I can unreservedly recommend Nikolaus as a service provider and artist!!!

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. Without knowing Mr. Kriese, only on the basis of his website and a lengthy telephone conversation, we commissioned Mr. Kriese to produce a large painting for us based on a template. The result really lived up to our expectations. The cooperation was very reliable, friendly, finished on time, with a great framing that we had agreed on beforehand and delivered safely by a forwarding agent. We would hire Mr. Kriese again at any time and can definitely recommend him to others.
