How the Prices Are Distributed
Knowing prices run 95 € to 295 € isn't much use on its own — what matters is where they cluster. Here are all 65 works, by actual price.
| Price | Works | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 95 € | 7 | 11% |
| 145 € | 29 | 45% |
| 195 € | 26 | 40% |
| 295 € | 3 | 5% |
What Drives the Price
A unique piece has no edition to spread its cost across, so the price reflects working time and format directly. That's why painting starts higher than photography while staying in an accessible band.
Three concrete things set the price in this category: format (40 × 30 cm, 60 × 40 cm), technique, and how many copies exist. For the same subject, a larger format costs more; a unique piece costs more than a numbered print.
Every work here is a hand-signed print numbered within an edition of 25: the 95 €–295 € band is the final price, sold direct by the artist.
Where This Sits in the Market
The art market treats a work under €500 as "affordable", and puts the cost of starting a collection somewhere between €300 and €2,000. The entire selection on this page — 95 € to 295 € — sits below that threshold, top price included.
That isn't a marketing claim: it follows arithmetically from the prices listed above, which you can check work by work.
