Custom Made Oil Portraits

Oil painting is the most important and prestigious painting technique for creating portraits. Flemish portrait artists began to use this technique in the XVth century; the luminosity, intensity and transparency of oil paintings endowed these painted portraits with great warmth and exceptional beauty. Our custom made oil portraits reflect the personality of the man or woman painted and the professional artists who successfully creates a unique painting.

Until recently, a personalized oil portrait was a privilege and a sign of distinction only nobility and the very rich could afford. Nowadays, most of us can afford a painted portrait rendered by a professional portrait artist. A portrait painted in oil can become a treasured moment for ourself, our family and future generations.
