Worldwide Shipping & Authenticity
Acquiring an original painting is a meaningful step, and how it reaches you matters just as much as the work itself. Diego Palencia ships original acrylic paintings worldwide from his studio in Guatemala City, with two priorities above all: that each piece arrives safely, and that its authenticity is never in question.
Every painting is a unique, hand-made original — signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. That certificate, along with the artist's signature, establishes the work's identity and provenance from the moment it leaves the studio. Combined with careful packaging and full insurance in transit, it gives collectors anywhere in the world confidence at every stage.
This page explains how shipping works, how each piece is protected on its journey, and what authenticity means for your collection. If you have a specific question about delivery to your location or about a particular work, reach out through the contact page — Diego is happy to walk you through the details before you acquire.
Worldwide shipping, fully insured
Diego ships original paintings worldwide. Wherever you are, your work travels with full insurance, so it's protected for its entire journey from the studio to your door. Shipping is arranged directly with you as part of the acquisition, so details specific to your location and the piece can be handled clearly. The aim is simple: a smooth, secure delivery and a painting that arrives in the same condition it left Guatemala City.

Careful, protective packaging
An original canvas deserves protective handling, and each painting is packaged with that in mind. Works are prepared to guard the surface and structure of the canvas against the stresses of transit, so the texture and color you saw in the gallery arrive intact. This attention to packaging is part of the studio's commitment to every collector: the experience of receiving the work should match the care that went into making it. Paired with full insurance, careful packaging means you can acquire from anywhere in the world without worrying about the journey. The painting is treated as the singular, irreplaceable object it is.
Authenticity you can trust
Every work from the studio is an original — a one-of-a-kind acrylic painting, never a print or reproduction. Each is signed by Diego Palencia and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity that records it as a unique piece. Together, the signature and certificate establish the work's identity and provenance, giving collectors lasting assurance of what they own. This matters whether you're acquiring your first painting or building a serious collection: authenticity is the foundation of an artwork's meaning and standing. To learn more about the certificate itself, see the certificate of authenticity page, or reach out with any questions before you acquire.
