Every portrait begins as a vision in my mind, and then, layer by layer, it slowly emerges on the canvas. 🖌️✨ It’s a journey that takes days, sometimes weeks, but the transformation never ceases to amaze me – from a blank canvas to a face full of life.

Part 3 of my study of the 1931 portrait of William Palmer by the renowned Philip de László.

There’s something powerful about creating representative portraits—art that honours leaders of today just as the old masters celebrated icons of their time.
I’d love to bring this sense of timeless artistry to modern-day figures—directors, professors, deans, or presidents.

If you’re interested in capturing a legacy on canvas, feel free to reach out!

🌟 Transform Your Space with Art 🌟
An original oil painting can completely change the atmosphere of a room. It adds depth, warmth, and a unique character that brings a space to life. There’s something special about the presence of a hand-painted piece—it feels alive and draws you in.
A custom painting isn’t just a decoration; it’s a piece that transforms the vibe of your home, making it feel more personal and inviting.

I do enjoy framing my paintings very much. Choosing the right frame, a frame that enhances the painting and makes it shine.
All commissioned paintings come framed and ready to hang up on your wall. We'll choose a frame together taking your personal taste and your home deco into account to make sure it fits perfectly.

Have a look at my latest reel - which frame would you have chosen?

Which frame fit's this portrait painting best?
A frame can enhance a painting, make it shine or overpower it. Not every frame is a fit. It's important to try, take a step back and contemplate if frame and painting belong together.
So, which one would you have chosen?
