A Dragon Named Giraffe by Diego Tirigall

A Dragon Named Giraffe was born when I was painting alongside my three-year-old son Bruno. While working on my pieces, he was coloring in his little book, and I was particularly captivated by the figure of a giraffe I found among its pages. Inspired by that moment, we began recreating it together on a canvas that stayed at home, while I simultaneously developed this work.

This piece represents the fusion between childlike imagination and artistic expression, forming part of my collection of more naïve or childlike works and sharing the spirit of Felix Meets Van Gogh and Munch. It's an invitation to look beyond the obvious, through the eyes of both a child and an artist.

I'm grateful to my friend Drew Daywalt, renowned children's book author, who upon seeing the giraffe with those wings on its sides commented that it looked like a dragon, christening it with this name that I found perfect.

A Masterpiece Inside and Out

I feel I must give credit where credit’s due, and that’s to the packaging of this painting. I confess, due to my own bias, I had some worries about whether an artist could sufficiently safeguard a piece of art, but boy, was I proven wrong. Having spent many years in a key role in operations and logistics for a company, it’s perhaps inevitable that my professional bias has me zeroing in on these details… It’s funny, isn’t it? Here I am, waxing lyrical about the packaging, when the painting itself is a bona fide masterpiece. Diego, my sincerest thanks! Full marks from me – five stars.

Commissions FAQ

The Commission Experience

1. How can I commission a custom artwork?

The process is simple: you send me a message with your idea, we discuss details and references, I create an initial sketch, and once approved, I begin the artwork. When it's ready, I'll send it to you carefully packaged. You can see the detailed process in the "How It Works" section.

2. Do I need to have a clear idea of what I want?

Not necessarily. You can give me a general reference, a feeling you want to convey, colors you like, or even just a keyword. I'll take care of turning it into a unique piece within my style.

3. Can I request a replica of one of your previous works?
I don't make exact copies, but I can create a new work inspired by a previous piece, maintaining the essence but with variations that make it unique.
4. How long does the creation process take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the work. Normally, between 1 and 2 months. This can vary depending on complexity, changes, revisions, etc.
5. Do you offer international shipping?

Yes, I ship worldwide. Delivery times vary between 4 and 8 business days depending on location. The artwork is packaged with high-protection materials to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

6. How is payment made?

Payment is made in two parts:

  • 50% when starting the commission to reserve your artwork.
  • 50% upon completion of the piece, before shipping. I accept payments through PayPal, bank transfer, and other methods based on availability.
7. Can I return an artwork if I don't like the result?

Since it is a custom artwork, returns are not accepted. However, I make sure you are satisfied at each phase of the process, allowing you to provide feedback before finalizing the piece.

8. Do you create large format works for specific spaces?

Yes, I can work in large formats for spaces such as living rooms, offices, or commercial venues. If you have a specific space in mind, we can discuss dimensions and composition.

9. Can I see progress during the process?

Yes, I will send you updates at different stages so you can see how the artwork evolves and give your opinion before the final details.

10. Do you offer framing?

For now, all artworks are shipped unframed to facilitate transport and allow you to choose the frame that best suits your space. If you need a recommendation, I can guide you on which options work best.
