One must give value to their existence by behaving as if one’s very existence were a work of art.

The History of LivelyPaint
LivelyPaint was founded in early 2021 by a group of artists and entrepreneurs who were connected by the common passion for arts and painting and wanted to help spread their positive effects. During a trip through Asia, we came across a group of very talented artists who earned their living painting copies of great artworks. These artists were both classically trained and extremely skilled. We asked them to paint a photo we had of us during this trip to immortalize the moment. We were so impressed and pleased with the outcome that we thought we should make a business out of it.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
The goal of LivelyPaint is to connect the client directly with the artists. We therefore built a portal that is simple and easy to use, and which sends the photo directly to the best artist suited for that job. This way the artist is inspired, and the client would be assured of receiving a unique work that is painted with skill and passion. What was born in a home office in Geneva, Switzerland, has quickly grown to a European-wide business. It is important to us to instil the well-known Swiss quality and customer care to provide positive user experience. We believe these are the traits that separate us from other similar services.

In a narrow space, it is advisable to buy a small painting or several small paintings. This way you can arrange them however you want to take up the wall. Small triptych squares (several small tables next to each other) could also be a good option. This configuration is also a good solution for long spaces like a hallway or staircase.
A standard bedroom can easily accommodate medium-sized paintings (60x60cm, 50x50cm, 50x70cm). It will fit in many situations. You should avoid buying a painting that is too small as it will not complement the wall. Medium tables are the most popular formats.
If you have chosen a large painting (100x100 cm, 80x80 cm, 70x70 cm), opt for a light wall and make the work the focal point of the room. Dare an XXL screen in rooms with high ceilings. A large rectangular painting (40 x 120 cm or 50 x 150 cm) creates a nice horizontal effect over a pump or sofa.
It depends on the size and complexity of the painting, usually around 15 days. (Due to Covid there may be unexpected delays)
