Portraits are a long-lasting love... How many school hours spent sketching my friends or teachers? When I draw a portrait or a caricature, a feeling of deep empathy for my model grows.
I work from picture of live. Contact me if you want a portrait of a loved one, or to hire me as a live portraitist for an event, a party or a wedding.

Commission a portrait
A portrait is a piece of eternal love. It can be a painting of children, parents, friends, pets, for you or as a present to someone you care about.
​
I work from pictures and I paint in my studio. You can provide the picture or I will come to you and will take it myself. You chose the style, the mood and the colours of the painting.
​
​
"The portrait captures something about me that I hadn''t seen yet.
It made me look at myself in a different light."
