Translate your story into a
handmade artwork.
Your story deserves more than a picture in a frame. At ArtYvesFact, I create 100% handmade custom drawings in pencil & ink, fineliners and a subtle touch of gold paint. Realistic, detailed and personal, from first sketch to last line, completely by hand. Studio in Merksem (Antwerp), delivery throughout Belgium and internationally.

- Your story at the center. We choose the direction together. You bring the memory, I bring the creative freedom and craftsmanship.
- Fair price, clear agreements. You get a clear quote and schedule, with no surprises.
- Reliable and committed. You get interim updates. So your work grows with your feedback.

So works the
Custom art is a collaboration.
Short, clear and human – that’s how I like to keep it.

Sketch
We start with your idea: who or what do you want drawn? You share reference photos and preferences (size, mood, accents in gold paint). I make a composition sketch on paper and send you a preview. We fine-tune until it fits.
Detail
Then comes the magic of pencil & ink and fineliners. Layers build up: texture, light, skin, fur, fabric, stone. You get updates, I guard realism and character. This is where your story really takes shape.
Finish
Accents in gold paint where the work calls for it. Fixing, signing, careful packaging. Everything entirely by hand, without a computer. Ready for delivery or pickup in Merksem .

What I make
I am a custom artist for those seeking a unique, personalized piece.
Portrait & family
A portrait on demand that touches: solo, duo or family. Pure realism with attention to gaze, skin and light. Perfect as a unique artwork gift or heirloom. Ordering a pencil drawing? I help you with choice of size and style.
Animal portrait
From soft fur to wet snout, I capture your animal’s character in detail. Handmade drawings that will make you smile every day.
Landscape & thematic (incl. mysticism )
From cityscapes to symbolic work. Also religious art in a modern twist – think sophisticated fineliner art with subtle gold paint. Example: “Judith” and “The Dove of Noah’s Ark” traveled with us to an international art expo in Germany. Also suitable for non-profits, churches and cultural players.
Price & timing
- Fair custom price. Price depends on size, complexity, number of people/animals and any accents in gold paint.
- Transparent proposal. You get a clear quote in advance with target price and schedule.
- Craft takes time. Count - depending on the assignment - on a few weeks to sometimes a little longer. Rather slow and timeless than fast and half.
- Extras. Framing, prints or reproductions are available upon request.
