We, at Velártez, guarantee that all the artworks and art derivatives offered on our webpage, wether originals, prints, and/or limited edition, are in fact works that are either handmade or authorized by the artists themselves in the limitations specified. We maintain close relationships with our artists and have signed contracts which every one of them to secure your interest as our collector. For that, you have the option to choose one of two different certificates of authenticity. You can also, of course, get both certificates.

As mentioned, you can choose one of two certificates or both. One is the original certificate of authenticity, that is issued by the artist. This one comes always with the original artwork itself as it is printed, signed, and added to the delivery by the artist itself. In cases of prints or art derivatives, however, the certificate may reach you separately from the work. This is because the print might be issued and shipped by a third partner while the certificate of authenticity is still sent by the artist.

The second, and optional certificate of authenticity is a Tagsmart certificate of authenticity.
