Looking for a unique, hand-painted portrait or a painting with depth and quiet presence? I create each work with care and attention, hoping to move someone and offer a lasting piece of emotion.

A portrait can be commissioned from €150 for a 24 × 30 cm format.

I work from high-quality, high-resolution photos, so no one needs to pose. Sometimes one photo is enough; in other cases I combine several images to achieve a balanced, beautiful whole. I also appreciate a little information about the person's character, so I can align the atmosphere and background to them.

After selecting the photos, I bring the portrait to about 95% and send you a photo for review. If you wish, I incorporate your feedback into the final details before finishing the painting.

Portraits are painted with water-mixable oil on linen. I reserve several weeks for the painting process, followed by sufficient drying time.

A €60 deposit is requested before I begin. The remaining amount is due only when you are satisfied with the final result.
