Last updated: 31 July 2026

Who you are buying from

myriyevskyy.com is the online gallery and shop of the painter Volodymyr Myriyevskyy, who paints in his studio on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Every work offered here is painted by him, and the shop is run from Spain.

Seller identification, as required by Spanish law:

Name / legal name: Volodymyr Myriyevskyy
Tax identification number (NIF): X5814859E
Postal address: Calle Sant Josep, 23, Puerta 1 · 43540 La Ràpita · Tarragona · Spain

Email: contact@myriyevskyy.com — the contact channel for this shop, and the fastest way to reach us about anything on this page. Every message is read personally.
Website: https://myriyevskyy.com

In these terms, "we", "us" and "the Seller" mean the seller identified above, and "you" or "the buyer" means the person placing the order.

What these terms cover

These terms govern every purchase made through this website. Please read them before you buy — when you complete payment, you accept them.

They are written in English, which is the language of this site and of the contract between us. Nothing in these terms takes away the rights the law gives you as a consumer.

The Shipping & Returns page forms part of these terms. It sets out packing, dispatch, delivery, customs, withdrawal and returns in detail; please read it alongside this page rather than looking for the same detail twice.

The paintings

Almost everything sold here is an original, one-of-a-kind oil painting on canvas, hand-painted by the artist. The quantity available of each painting is exactly one, because only one exists, and no painting is ever repeated as a second canvas.

Each painting is signed on the front, and signed and dated on the back.
Each painting comes with a personalised certificate of authenticity naming you as its owner.
Each painting ships as a stretched canvas on a wooden frame, ready to hang. We never roll a painting.

Fine art prints. The artist also offers fine art prints made from his own original paintings, either as listed items or by individual request. A print is not an original: it is clearly identified as a print on its page and in its description, it is not unique, it does not come with the certificate of authenticity described above, and it is priced accordingly. Prints are produced on museum-quality archival paper. Everything else in these terms — payment, delivery, withdrawal, refunds and your statutory rights — applies to prints in the same way as to paintings, except that a print made or prepared to your individual specification is treated as a commissioned item and is excluded from the 14-day right of withdrawal on the same basis set out below.

You are buying the painting exactly as it appears in its photographs on this site and as described on its page. Because screens, browsers and room light all differ, colours on your screen may vary slightly from the real painting. Oil on canvas also has its own texture and brush marks, which are part of a hand-painted original. If a painting is not as described or not as agreed, your legal rights are set out below and are unaffected by anything in this paragraph.

The artist has been selling his work since 2015; more than 800 paintings are now with collectors in 42 countries.

Each painting can only be sold once

Because every work is unique, it can only be sold to one person. There is no shopping cart on this site: each painting is bought on its own, one painting per order, and shipped as an individual order.

If two people reach checkout for the same painting at the same time, the first completed payment takes the painting. Any other payment for that same work is refunded in full, and we will write to you by email to explain and to help you find another piece if you would like one.

Prices, shipping and taxes

Prices are shown in euros (EUR) on each painting's page. Payment is taken in euros; if your card or payment account is held in another currency, any conversion is handled by your own bank or payment provider on its own terms.

The price displayed for a painting is the total price payable for that painting, inclusive of any taxes applicable to the sale in Spain. Shipping is then added at checkout as a flat, insured rate chosen by destination country:

European Union and United Kingdom: free
Rest of Europe: EUR 29
United States: EUR 49
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia: EUR 59
Rest of the world: EUR 68

The total you will pay — the painting plus the shipping rate for your destination — is shown to you at checkout before you confirm payment. There is nothing else to pay to us. If you need an invoice, write to contact@myriyevskyy.com and one will be issued.

We ship worldwide, but we do not ship to Russia or Belarus. For some remote or uncommon destinations, shipping availability, carrier, delivery time and shipping cost may be confirmed with you before the order is accepted.

Customs. There are no customs formalities on orders within the European Union. For destinations outside the EU, any import duties, import VAT, customs-clearance charges or handling fees are set by your own country and are your responsibility. They are not collected by us and are not included in the painting price or in the shipping rate. See Shipping & Returns for the detail.

Promotional codes

From time to time we may issue promotional codes — for example a percentage discount, or free shipping. Where a code applies, it can be entered at checkout and the reduced total is shown to you before you pay.

Unless expressly stated otherwise: only one code may be used per order, codes are not exchangeable for cash, they may be limited in time, and they may be withdrawn or deactivated at any time before an order is placed. A code that is invalid, expired or deactivated simply does not apply, and the order proceeds at the normal price or not at all — nothing is charged without the total being shown to you first.

Payment

Payment is handled entirely by Stripe, on Stripe's own secure hosted checkout pages. You can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

This website never sees or stores your card details. Stripe passes back to us only what we need in order to send you your painting: your name, shipping address, email, telephone number where provided, and what you bought.

Nothing is charged until you complete payment on Stripe's page, and Stripe emails you the receipt as soon as the payment goes through.

How an order is placed, and when the contract is made

Buying a painting takes a few simple steps:

You choose a painting and select your shipping destination, which sets the shipping rate.
You are taken to Stripe's hosted checkout page, where you enter your delivery and payment details.
Before you confirm, that page shows you what you are buying and the total to pay. You can check your details and correct any mistake there, or simply close the page and start again — nothing is charged until you confirm.
You confirm payment. Stripe emails you the receipt.

A painting shown on this site is an invitation to buy, not a binding offer. The contract between us is formed at the moment your payment is successfully completed through Stripe — at that point the painting is yours and is no longer available to anyone else.

Your confirmation of the contract on a durable medium is the receipt Stripe emails you, together with our order confirmation email. We recommend that you keep both, along with a copy of these terms as published on this page on the day of your order; the version that applies to your purchase is the one published here at that moment.

If you spot a mistake in your order after paying — a wrong address, for instance — email contact@myriyevskyy.com straight away and we will correct it if the painting has not yet been dispatched.

If, exceptionally, we cannot fulfil an order — for example because another buyer's payment for the same unique painting completed a moment earlier — we will tell you by email as soon as we know and refund you in full.

Preparation and delivery

All paintings offered for sale are original artworks that are already completed. Order preparation usually takes 3–7 business days after payment has been confirmed, and in most cases orders are dispatched on Mondays. If a painting has been completed recently and needs additional drying time before it can safely be packed, we tell you the estimated shipping date in advance.

Delivery times are estimates only and are based on information provided by the carriers. Actual delivery may vary depending on the destination country, customs clearance, transport conditions and other circumstances beyond our control. Unless a different period has been expressly agreed with you, your painting will be delivered without undue delay and no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the contract.

Every shipment is tracked and insured. Orders to the United States are normally shipped by DHL Express; orders within Europe are normally shipped using Correos Express, Correos or another suitable carrier depending on the destination and the dimensions of the painting.

Until the painting is physically received by you, or by someone you have designated other than the carrier, the risk of accidental loss or damage remains with us.

If a painting arrives damaged, keep all packaging materials, photograph the parcel and the artwork, note the damage on the carrier's paperwork or refuse the delivery where possible, and email contact@myriyevskyy.com — preferably within 72 hours of delivery. That window is asked for so that evidence can be preserved and an insurance claim made effectively; reporting later does not remove any of your mandatory statutory rights. The full procedure, and the possible remedies, are on the Shipping & Returns page.

More generally, please inspect your order on delivery and tell us without unreasonable delay if you find any problem — preferably on the day of delivery or within the next few days.

Changing your mind: your 14-day right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw from your purchase of a catalogue painting within 14 days, without giving any reason. The 14 days run from the day you, or a third party you have designated other than the carrier, takes physical possession of the painting.

To withdraw, tell us in a clear statement before the 14 days are up — an email to contact@myriyevskyy.com saying you are withdrawing is enough. You may use the model withdrawal form reproduced on the Shipping & Returns page, but you do not have to. Sending your message within the 14 days is what counts, not when we reply.

After telling us, send the painting back without undue delay and in any case within 14 days, to Volodymyr Myriyevskyy, Calle Sant Josep, 23, Puerta 1, 43540 La Ràpita, Tarragona, Spain, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Please contact us first so the return and its packaging can be coordinated, and send it back stretched and protected as it arrived, never rolled.

We refund the payments that must legally be refunded without undue delay and no later than 14 days after being informed of your decision to withdraw.
The refund is made through Stripe, to the same payment method you used, unless you expressly agree otherwise. There is no refund administration fee.
We may withhold the refund until the painting has been received back, or until you supply sufficient evidence that it was correctly sent back — whichever happens first. Evidence must identify the parcel, the carrier, the date of shipment and the correct return address; an incomplete or unverifiable tracking number is not sufficient.
Where you paid for outbound delivery, we refund the cost of the least expensive standard delivery option offered for the order, where the law requires it. Any additional amount paid for a more expensive delivery method you chose does not have to be refunded. Delivery to the EU and the UK is free, so in those cases there is no outbound charge to add back.
Return shipping: where a return is requested for reasons that are not our responsibility, you arrange and pay the direct cost of the return, unless we agree otherwise in writing. Returns must be packed securely — in the original packaging whenever possible, otherwise in equivalent protective packaging — and must include a tracking number. Because a stretched and framed painting may not be suitable for ordinary post, that cost can be substantial: depending on country, dimensions, weight, insurance and carrier it may be up to EUR 300. That is an estimated maximum, not a price charged by us; the actual price is set by the carrier you choose.
You are responsible only for any reduction in the value of the painting resulting from handling beyond what is reasonably necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and condition. Where such a reduction has occurred, we may make a lawful deduction from the refund corresponding to the demonstrated loss in value.

Consumers outside the European Union and the United Kingdom do not have a voluntary change-of-mind return right under these terms, unless such a right is required by mandatory law applicable to the purchase or is expressly agreed by us in writing. This does not affect any rights relating to a painting that is damaged, defective or not as described.

This right does not apply to commissioned or personalised paintings (see below).

If something is wrong with your painting

Separately from the right to change your mind, you have a legal guarantee: the painting must be as described and as agreed. Under Spanish law this guarantee of conformity lasts three years from delivery, and if you live in another country you keep at least the minimum period your own law gives you (two years across the European Union).

If a painting is not as described, write to contact@myriyevskyy.com and we will put it right. Where a painting arrived damaged, defective or materially different from its description, we bear the reasonable cost of returning it where the law so requires. Please do not arrange an unnecessarily expensive return method without first giving us a reasonable opportunity to organise or approve the return.

Nothing on this page limits those rights.

Commissions

The artist also accepts commissions — a painting made to your own specification. Commissions are arranged by email at contact@myriyevskyy.com, or through the form on the Commissions page, which simply opens a message in your own email program.

Before work begins, we agree with you in writing all the essential details of the commission: the subject, composition, size, materials, price, artistic direction, expected stages, estimated completion time and any other important requirement. The creation time for a commissioned painting is agreed individually with you before work begins.

Deposit. Any deposit for a commissioned painting is agreed individually between us before work begins. If we cancel a commissioned order before completion, any deposit paid is refunded in full. If you cancel after work has already begun, the deposit is non-refundable and is applied toward the work already completed and the related expenses.

Final payment. Unless otherwise agreed, the remaining balance for a commissioned painting is paid after you have approved the completed artwork.

A commissioned painting is an original like any other work here: signed on the front, signed and dated on the back, supplied with a personalised certificate of authenticity, and shipped stretched and ready to hang.

Because a commission is made to your specification and clearly personalised, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to it — this is the standard exception in EU consumer law for goods made to the consumer's own specifications (Consumer Rights Directive, Article 16(c); the equivalent exception applies in the UK). A commissioned painting may include, for example, a particular person, couple, family, animal, place, size, composition or colour scheme requested by you. Once work has begun, the order cannot be cancelled merely because you have changed your mind.

The exclusion of the right of withdrawal does not affect your mandatory rights if the commissioned painting is damaged, defective or materially different from what was agreed.

Copyright

When you buy a painting you become the owner of that physical, unique object. Copyright in the work stays with the artist, Volodymyr Myriyevskyy, and is not transferred with the canvas.

This means the artist keeps the right to photograph the painting and to reproduce, publish and display those images — for example on this website and in his portfolio — including after the painting has been sold. It also means you may not reproduce the work commercially, for instance as prints, merchandise or digital products, without his written permission.

Photographing your own painting in your own home, and sharing that for personal, non-commercial reasons, is of course welcome.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by Spanish law. Where you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of any mandatory protection provided by the law of the country in which you habitually reside, where that protection applies under the relevant conflict-of-law rules. As a consumer, you may also bring proceedings before the courts of the place where you live.

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If something goes wrong, please write to contact@myriyevskyy.com first. We are a small studio, we read every message, and almost everything can be solved that way.

If we cannot solve it between us, consumers may address the consumer protection authorities of their own country and may use any out-of-court dispute resolution (ADR) body competent in their country of residence. The European Commission's online dispute resolution (ODR) platform ceased to operate on 20 July 2025 and is therefore no longer available. Consumers in Catalonia may also request the official complaint form (full oficial de queixa, reclamació i denúncia) by writing to the address above.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version that applies to your purchase is the one published on this page at the moment you place your order.
