Portraits and custom oil paintings for your collection

When it comes to a specially ordered portrait - one can usually afford only a quick pencil sketch, made in 10 minutes by a student at seaside or other holiday resort. In most cases such portrait is not very good, and quickly ends on a dusty shelf with other forgotten souvenirs.

Really fine, large oil painted on canvas portrait is simply out of the question - because of it's out-of-range price, and also difficulties finding a really good artist, who can undertake your commission...

Not any more!
We are proud to offer you professional quality custom order portraits hand painted by top artists in one of many known art styles!
You can be painted in style of Van Gogh's portraits - your wedding photo can be transferred to a fine, classical Baroque image in traditional Baroque setting, etc. etc.
Or, you can request your image to be combined with a different background - a fine castle, exotic garden, oriental harem, Cromwell's battlefield? You can also use only your face from a submitted photo, and the rest can be anything you wish! How about you - painted as Napoleon on one of his famous portraits? Or a dark, impressive and stylish big portrait of a British Duke or Duchess - with your face - seamlessly blended into one image? Possibilities are endless.

And - the best part is - it is easy, and affordable! You can really have a hand painted original canvas showing an important family event, like it was done centuries ago by rich and influential families. Such portrait will be yours forever, and for your family to be treasured for generations!
Here is a real example for you:

On the left - an original historical painting by Allan Ramsay - it shows Queen Charlotte resting her hand on her crown. Then, you see a snapshot we received - and the end effect: woman on snapshot depicted as Queen!
She also asked to have some blue elements on image.
You can see all surroundings are well copied in the same style, and face is slightly adjusted, to make the new Queen look the most natural way...
This large 24x30 inches painting, mounted in a decorative frame simply blew our customer away - she couldn't believe the fine quality of this image, care for original style and detail!

Of course, you may wish to have your painting done in realistic style, canvas of your cottage in Impressionist style, like Monet, your girlfriend looking like on romantic, sensual canvas of Pino Daeni, your store-front painted in style of Hopper or Vettriano (see our section with selected masterpieces for style ideas).
It all can be done in a few weeks time, as an one-of-a-kind artistic painting. If by any chance you need more copies - let's say - for business promotion, your hotel decoration, as memorabilia, gifts for all guests attending your wedding, etc. - we can paint the original, and after you accept it - we can make for you inexpensive, yet almost indistinguishable copies on canvas, using our new, revolutionary oil giclee system!
Below you can see yet other examples of custom portrait work:

 

On the left - known painting by Italian 19th century painter Schiavoni, showing a Greek aristocrat. On the right, the same painting used to make portrait of me, Derek - manager of our small business... Below - it is me, holding this fine painting.

Wide range of styles and sizes available. See bottom of this page for details and costs.

If you wish to have the best possible painting, please select a really fine photo, and make sure it is large enough to see all details.

Additional photos can be very helpful, as they may show subject's face at a different angle, and give the "better feel' of the subject to the artist. We will be glad to discuss your order on individual basis, to make sure your painting will exceed your expectations.

Additional portrait techniques are also available - namely water colour, and pencil.
We have an extensive library of images in different styles, which may be used as background, or to help select a particular style. Browse through our selected masterpieces to decide about your favourite style - or simply write us, and let us know what your portrait should look like...
