About Original Paintings
An original painting is one-of-a kind work created by artist Julia Contacessi. When you purchase an original, you purchase the only one in existence. Some originals are created on paper and others on canvas. Stretching and framing details are unique to each work and those specifics are noted in the product description. Included along with your original (sometimes mailed separately) is a signed certificate of authenticity that will include details about the artwork like the title, dimensions, date created and value.
