You live in the Lake Zurich region and want a photo turned into a hand-painted oil painting? At ArtMinded, with a studio in Wädenswil ZH you get just that — with Swiss advice, transparent prices and the option of picking up the finished work in person. Here is everything you should know as a local customer.
Our studio: Wädenswil ZH on Lake Zurich
Address: Neudorfstrasse 35, 8820 Wädenswil ZH
Wädenswil sits on the southern shore of Lake Zurich between Horgen and Richterswil, easy to reach by S-Bahn (S2 from Zurich main station, 28 min.) or car (A3 exit Wädenswil, ~25 min. from central Zurich). From Wädenswil station it's an 8-minute walk to Neudorfstrasse.
What you get at the studio
Personal consultation before ordering
Not sure which format fits? Torn between styles? An on-site appointment (by prior arrangement) is free. We show you originals in different styles in real life — you see brush textures, color depth and the effect of each format with your own eyes.
Photo check before you order
You can show us your photo at the studio and we'll discuss it on the spot: sharpness, exposure, composition. If needed, we'll show you which adjustments we make to the photo before painting.
Pick-up instead of shipping
Once your painting is finished (2-5 weeks), you pick it up in person — safe, without shipping packaging, without transport risk. Especially recommended for large formats from 80 × 100 cm.
Choose your frame on site
We stock wood, gold and shadow-gap frames in various widths and styles. You combine the finished work directly with the frame — and see immediately what fits.
Your photo as a hand-painted oil painting
Upload your favourite photo — you receive a one-of-a-kind oil painting with Swiss quality control, a photo for approval before drying and delivery in 2–5 weeks.

When an on-site visit is worth it
Not every customer needs to come by in person — most orders are placed entirely online via the Configurator. An on-site visit makes sense for:
- High-stakes gifts: A golden wedding anniversary, a multi-generation family portrait — a consultation prevents ordering mistakes
- Large formats from 80 cm: better format assessment by comparing with originals
- Undecided on style: classic vs. modern vs. abstract compared side by side
- Photo concerns: if you're not sure whether your photo is good enough
- Pick-up instead of shipping: for valuable or large works
Ordering process for local customers
- Call or WhatsApp: +41 44 780 57 90 — we arrange an appointment or advise you right on the phone
- Discuss your photo and wishes: by email to info@artminded.ch or at the studio
- Configurator order: online with our help or on site with us
- Your painting is created: 2-5 weeks production time
- Preview image: before shipping, you receive a photo of the finished work for approval

Why order locally instead of internationally?
A direct Swiss point of contact
With online platforms from abroad, you call a call center (or no one at all). With us, the Swiss management is directly reachable.
No customs or shipping problems
With deliveries from abroad, customs and shipping problems are common — values above CHF 60 are subject to duty, and large formats often travel through distribution poorly packed. Local delivery avoids all that.
Swiss data protection and legal framework
Your photos and data are processed in Switzerland and protected under the Swiss Data Protection Act. In the event of complaints, Swiss law applies — a decisive factor especially for higher-value works.
Direct quality control
Before shipping, we personally inspect every work. With direct shipping from an artist abroad, this final quality layer is missing — and defects only become visible at the customer's home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is the ArtMinded studio?
Neudorfstrasse 35, 8820 Wädenswil ZH. An 8-minute walk from Wädenswil station, easy to reach with the S2 from Zurich main station. Appointments recommended, as the studio is not staffed at all times.
Do I have to bring a photo in person?
No. The configurator upload is enough in 90% of cases. An on-site consultation is only worth it for particularly important gifts, large formats or if you're unsure about the style.
Can I pick up the finished work at the studio?
Yes — gladly. Personal pick-up is safer than shipping (no transport risk) and especially recommended for large formats from 80 × 100 cm. Once your painting is finished, we arrange a date by email.
Which languages do you speak?
Our main language is German. Advice is also available in English, French and Italian via phone, WhatsApp and email.
How much does a hand-painted oil painting cost in the Zurich region?
Prices are independent of your location: portrait of a person from CHF 306, pet portrait from CHF 306, family portrait from CHF 306. Local delivery around Lake Zurich is free for orders over CHF 500.
Do you offer express appointments?
On request, yes — for tight gift deadlines (wedding, golden wedding anniversary, Christmas) we can often deliver 1-2 weeks faster than the standard delivery time. Calling directly is recommended: +41 44 780 57 90.
Do you deliver to the city of Zurich?
Yes — delivery to the greater Zurich area on the agreed date by carrier or in person. For investment pieces above CHF 2’000 we prefer personal handover.
