Making my own old-fashioned ones Since I find the frame to be a very important part of a painting, I have always been making my own frames for my works. It is not an easy, time-consuming but satisfying job. I like my frames made of real wood, in a modest classical style and painted preferably black, sometimes with a golden border. Some art lovers find this choice too sober/heavy/old-fashioned but it is my choice at the moment. I exhibit and sell my paintings always with my handmade frames. When a customer prefers to have their own frame or even no frame at all, a considerable price discount is possible. Because a handmade frame does cost money.
It's where Valta sometimes posts stories about his paintings.
