Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ | Original Pieces
What is an original artwork?
An original artwork is a one-of-a-kind piece created entirely by Mavi. Each work is inspired by personal experiences, emotions, observations, and imagination, making it unique and impossible to replicate exactly. When you purchase an original artwork, you become the owner of that physical piece.
Do I own the copyright when I purchase an original artwork?
No. The purchase of an original artwork does not transfer copyright ownership. Mavi retains all copyrights and reproduction rights to the artwork, including the right to create prints, reproductions, and use images of the work for promotional purposes.
Is shipping included in the price?
No. Shipping is quoted separately for original artworks. Because each piece varies in size, weight, framing, and destination, shipping costs are calculated individually to ensure safe delivery. We ship worldwide. If you are interested in a piece but would like to understand shipping costs before purchasing, please contact us at mavicanvas@gmail.com for a
personalized estimate.
Are original artworks framed?
Each artwork listing will indicate whether the piece is framed or unframed. If a piece is not currently framed and you would like framing arranged before shipment, we are happy to coordinate professional framing for an additional cost.
Can I see how an artwork will look in my space?
Yes. Upon request, we can provide guidance, sizing recommendations, or digital mockups to help you visualize the artwork in your home or office before purchasing.
Are original artworks signed?
Yes. All original artworks are signed by the artist and include a certificate of authenticity.
FAQ | Curated Print Release
What is a print?
A print is a high-quality reproduction of an original artwork. Prints make it possible to collect and enjoy selected works at a more accessible price point while preserving the uniqueness of the original piece.
Are prints available all the time?
No. Print releases are carefully curated and offered for limited periods of time. Some prints may only be available for a few weeks or months and may not return once the release ends.
Should I purchase a print when it becomes available?
If you discover a print you love, we recommend purchasing it while it is available. While some prints may return in the future, others may be retired permanently once the release period ends.
Is shipping included in the price?
Yes. Shipping is included worldwide for all print orders.
What quality are the prints?
Prints are produced using premium materials and professional printing processes designed to showcase the color, texture, and spirit of the original artwork.
Are prints signed?
Availability varies by release. Individual product listings will specify whether a print is signed, numbered, or part of a limited-edition collection.
