Commissioned portrait
A portrait,
not a copy
€1,500from
A painted portrait does not reproduce a photograph. It builds up in layers, looks for harmony of colour and brings out character. You choose the style; the artist does the rest.
The commissioning steps
The brief
Together we settle the style — classical or contemporary — along with the size, the framing and where the picture is to hang.
The references
You send recent photographs, and we talk about colour, light and the mood you have in mind.
The execution
The portrait is painted in the studio, layer by layer. Stages can be shared with you along the way.
The delivery
The work is sent by express carrier, insured, within France or abroad.
The final price depends on size and complexity. Carriage is insured; payment terms are agreed when you place the commission.
Classical or contemporary
The classical style works at likeness and light; the contemporary one uses impasto and layering and leaves the brushwork showing. It is for you to choose whichever suits the sitter — and the wall that is waiting.
What you receive
An original, unique work, painted in oil on canvas and signed. No prints, no reproductions. The portrait arrives ready to hang, with fixings suited to its size.
Timing and shipping
Timing is agreed when you commission. The work is sent by insured express carrier, within France and worldwide, in rigid packaging.
