Portraits
12pieces
Twelve painted portraits: public figures, private commissions, family. A painted portrait does not copy a photograph. It builds up, layer on layer, until the sitter’s character comes through.

Commission
A portrait, not a likeness
From €1,500 — oil on canvas, classical and contemporary styles.
For Leo Novoro a portrait proceeds by layers: likeness comes not from drawing alone but from the build-up of paint and the harmony of the colours. The sitter chooses the style, the palette and the framing; the artist does the painting in his studio, and the finished work is shipped, insured, within France or abroad.
