FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CURRENT AVAILABLE WORK

COMMISSIONS:

I am currently accepting commissions for artwork . Please get in touch for pricing. I can work with any sizes and colors. Typical lead times is 3 weeks.

SHIPPING COSTS:

My pricing for artwork always includes shipping within the United States. Large pieces are shipped and sent through a freight company. Smaller works are sent through UPS ground and packaged in the most sustainable way possible. 

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:

I do offer to ship internationally and provide credit for a portion of the cost equivalent to U.S. ground shipping. The remainder of the cost will be added on to the price of the artwork, but will be itemized.  Please contact me to inquire about the additional costs specific to your location. Due to the variety of sizes and locations it requires a little research.

MATERIALS:

I use a variety of materials which vary by artwork. The materials I typically use include wood, polyiso foam, fiberglass, cement, concrete, plaster, lime paint and clay/ plaster coatings. 

OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS:

Any works created from concrete and PolyIso Foam can be installed in outdoor applications where they are exposed to the elements. This needs to be requested at the time of commission to ensure that all substrates used are appropriate for outdoor installation and that a sealer is applied.

SEALING:

Pieces can be sealed upon request. This is only recommended for installation in a kitchen, bathroom and required for outdoors. Commercial installs in a high traffic area or dining area should also be sealed. It does add a minimal gloss to pieces that are painted in flat lime wash paint. 

CLEANING:

All artworks can be cleaned by dusting or with a computer cleaner which blows air. Works painted in lime and other similar finishes are slightly porous, but can also be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, but be aware the color will deepen temporarily until moisture dries. 

WEIGHT:

The majority of the pieces are very light as most of the volume is created with Polyiso Foam weighing only slightly more than a canvas painting.

Any pieces made of concrete are significantly heavier weighing about 4-5 lbs per SF (about 22 KG per square meter)

FRAMES:

I often include frames. If the piece is shown in the catalog with a frame, then it will include a frame unless requested without. We can always make anything happen with framing. If you have special requests or questions please feel free to reach out. 

RETURNS:

All works are final sale.  Any work arriving damaged will be replaced or repaired. 

STUDIO VISITS:

My studio is available for visits upon request to  collectors, trade professionals, fellow artists and students. It is located in Torrance, CA. 

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY:

All Beatriz Salazar Art works include a certificate of authenticity with an official stamp and wet signature.  A triptych and diptych would only include one for the entire piece.
