In the Fine Arts, the portrait is considered one of the main genres of painting and graphics, the heart of which inspires and commemorates "the beginning", immortalizing the human appearance. The boundaries of this genre are extremely fluid and frequently can be found combined with elements from other areas of the Fine Arts. Most often, portraits are created directly from nature and are made in different types: mid-length, half-length, full-length, en face, half-face, etc. According to a number of characters, they are subdivided into individual, companion and group.

The main criterion of "portraitness" is its similarity to a person’s art image, which one can achieve not only through conformity to external features, but also through the revelation of model’s spiritual human essence, his mood or his belonging to definite historical era, nationality or social circle. All these and other components of a portrait are reproduced by an artist in his/her individual and unique manner and represent the subjective vision of the author.

On demand, the Artist will paint portraits from photograph or live sittings. When ordering various composite and art solutions are offered.

A good portrait is the ideal gift for a loved one!
