Commission a Portrait

Your story deserves to be art.

A large-scale portrait is an invitation to look closer. I approach these commissions with a deep sense of responsibility, knowing that a canvas of this size defines the atmosphere of a home. By layering professional-grade acrylics with both precision and intuition, I aim to capture more than a likeness—I strive to capture a presence. From the structural integrity of the frame to the final varnish, every step is an intentional move toward a piece that feels alive, enduring, and soulful."

  • I use professional, lightfast acrylics to ensure your portrait’s colors remain vibrant and true, resisting fading over time.

  • "Every piece is crafted with vivid, beveled layers and rich, impasto textures. By using a painting knife instead of a brush, we allow the paint to catch the light, creating a tactile 'life' and a dynamic energy that you can see and feel on the canvas."

  • A thoughtful balance of technical anatomical accuracy and expressive artistry, creating a sophisticated focal point that honors the subject’s spirit.

“Life etches itself onto our faces as we grow older, showing our violence, excesses, or kindnesses.”
— Rembrandt van Rijn

FAQs

  • It begins with an inquiry form where we discuss your vision, reference photos, and size. Once the details are set and the payment is made, I’ll begin your custom piece. Check out the process here.


  • High-resolution photos taken in natural light work best. The more detail I can see in the eyes and features, the more life-like your portrait will be. Avoid photos with heavy filters, extreme shadows, or blurry details.

  • I can usually complete a portrait in 2–3 weeks, though this can vary based on my current waitlist and might be done sooner or may take longer.

  • Pricing depends on the dimensions and the number of subjects (people or pets). I will share the price list once you submit the initial inquiry form.

  • Absolutely. I typically send a preliminary sketch for approval and one "work-in-progress" update before the final reveal.


  • What if I want to make changes?A round of minor revisions can be done initially to ensure you are happy with the likeness. However there will be additional charges for any major changes or change requests once the painting is nearing completion.

  • I use professional-grade, lightfast acrylic paints on canvas. The finished piece is coated with a protective varnish for longevity.

  • Dust it lightly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or hanging the piece in direct, harsh sunlight.

  • No. Most portraits are painted on gallery-wrapped canvas with finished edges, meaning they are ready to hang as-is.

  • Yes, I ship globally. Shipping costs and any applicable customs fees are the responsibility of the client.
