How Much an Original Painting Actually Costs

What does an original painting really cost?

In our catalogue, an original mixed-media work costs between 60 € and 140 €, with a median of 90 €. That's 65 works by 5 artists, each a unique piece — there is no second copy.

How the Prices Are Distributed

Knowing prices run 60 € to 140 € isn't much use on its own — what matters is where they cluster. Here are all 65 works, by actual price.

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 (45 × 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 carries a 53–72% discount off list: the 60 €–140 € band is what you pay today, not a starting point.

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 — 60 € to 140 € — 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.
