Studio & Collector Guide
Welcome to the Octavia Wild studio.
Each artwork is created as a contemporary fine art piece using fine art materials and produced individually to order in collaboration with specialist fine art production studios. This guide provides clarity and transparency around how your work is made, shipped, and cared for.
THE ARTWORK & QUALITY
What am I purchasing?
Each work is a contemporary abstract fine art composition produced as a fine art-quality print or canvas. Unless otherwise stated, works are offered as open edition pieces produced to order. These works are intended for physical space, where light, scale, and environment complete the composition.
Framing is not included unless explicitly stated on the product page.
What materials and production standards are used?
Fine art paper works: Fine art paper works are produced using fine art papers and Giclée printing processes selected according to artwork format.
Canvas works: Produced as Giclée canvas prints on heavy-weight fine art canvas substrate using fine art inks and professionally stretched or prepared according to selected format specifications.
What is the production process?
Each artwork is produced through a controlled fine art workflow used in contemporary gallery printing:
-
Colour-managed digital imaging calibrated for fine art reproduction
-
Fine art printing on specialist substrates
-
Professional production on fine art paper and canvas
-
Professional finishing and quality inspection
-
Individual production per order (no stock holding or mass production)
Are all pieces identical?
No. Each artwork is produced to order. Subtle variations in tone, texture, and edge detail may occur due to material behavior, calibration differences, and the physical nature of fine art production. These are not defects but inherent characteristics of the process.
Do I receive a Certificate of Authenticity?
Where applicable, a Certificate of Authenticity is supplied with each artwork confirming authorized release by Octavia Wild.
SCALE, DISPLAY & FRAMING
How should I choose the right size?
Scale is integral to the work. Selection should consider architectural presence rather than decoration alone. Larger formats enhance spatial impact and presence within a room. If required, you may request guidance before purchase.
How should the artwork be framed?
-
Fine art paper: Because Giclée prints feature delicate fine art surfaces, we recommend professional framing using acid-free mounting materials and UV-protective glazing to preserve tonal integrity over time.
-
Canvas: Canvas pieces are professionally stretched. For a refined contemporary presentation, float (shadow-gap) framing in natural wood or matte black is recommended.
How should I care for my artwork?
To preserve quality:
-
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
-
Avoid high humidity environments
-
Handle unframed works only by the edges, ideally with gloves.
-
Avoid rapid temperature shifts or direct heat exposure

Is the production environmentally responsible?
Works are produced on demand, eliminating unnecessary stock and reducing waste associated with overproduction. Packaging is designed to balance material efficiency with secure transit protection and reduced environmental impact where possible.
Will I pay customs or import fees?
Where possible, duties and taxes will be settled prior to delivery. In all other cases, any import duties, taxes, customs charges, or local fees are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
RETURNS, CANCELLATIONS & CHANGES
Can I return or cancel my order?
Because each artwork is produced individually to order, returns for change of mind are generally not accepted except where statutory consumer rights apply. Please visit our T&Cs for more info.
What if I made a mistake?
Please review your order carefully before checking out. If you believe you have made an error, please contact the studio within 24 hours of placing your order. We will make every reasonable effort to assist you before production begins, though changes or cancellations cannot be guaranteed once an order has been processed.
DAMAGES & DELIVERY ISSUES
What if my artwork arrives damaged?
Each piece is carefully produced, inspected, and securely packaged before dispatch. If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact the studio within 48 hours of delivery with:
-
Order number

Clear photographs of the artwork

Clear photographs of packaging
-
Clear photo of the carrier shipping barcode label on the packaging
Once verified, a replacement will be prioritised at no cost.
What if my parcel shows as delivered but is missing?
Once a courier confirms delivery, responsibility transfers to the recipient, except where applicable consumer law provides otherwise. We cannot accept liability for loss or theft after confirmed delivery.
Trade, Gallery & Corporate Orders
Trade and corporate orders must be inspected upon receipt. Any issues must be reported within 48 hours. Once installed, framed, or handled by third parties, claims cannot be accepted.
Final Note
Each work is created with intention and precision using a considered fine art production process that balances integrity with contemporary presentation. The purchase of an artwork does not transfer copyright, reproduction rights, intellectual property, or exclusivity unless explicitly stated.
For guidance at any stage—from selection through to installation—the studio is available to support your collecting journey.
