Book an initial consultation with Damian Bonk.
Selected paintings showing the scale, character and approach taken in private commissions.
Large-format works over 150 cm, developed in relation to the volume and light conditions of the intended interior. Suitable for contemporary residences, luxury apartments and private offices.
A move away from quick digital photography towards the tangible weight of oil paint. Generational portraits are developed from selected private archives supplied by the client or from dedicated studio sittings.
The process begins with a private conversation. For an interior commission, the atelier reviews the space, including plans and lighting; for a portrait, it works from photographic material. The emotional tone and canvas format are then defined in relation to the intended setting.
Work takes place in the Krakow atelier. Several transparent layers of oil glaze are applied to a linen support. This process requires time for the paint to cure, supporting museum-grade durability intended to endure for centuries.
The work is certified, varnished for protection, and framed according to the agreed recommendations. The atelier arranges fully insured dedicated transport with high-end art handling and oversees installation at the patron’s residence.
Each project is priced individually after an initial consultation, according to the scale of the canvas and the technical complexity of the process. A 40% studio deposit is required to confirm the commission.
BONK Atelier ensures the patron’s anonymity. Legacy portraits and residential commissions are not published in public indexes without the client’s clear written consent.
