Hand-painted portrait: based on your photos, for a unique keepsake (wedding, family, ancestor)
In my studio near Paris, I create oil portraits entirely hand-painted.
These unique works make timeless gifts to celebrate life’s special moments — weddings, christenings, graduations, retirements, and more.
A painted portrait goes beyond likeness: it highlights the subject’s character and becomes an elegant, lasting decorative piece.

Wedding or event portrait: a gift painted on canvas
A hand-painted wedding portrait is a unique and lasting keepsake. From your photo, I create a personalized painting that captures the emotion of that special moment. The composition can be framed as a bust, half-length, or full-length portrait. For large formats (80 cm to 1 m), a high-quality photo is required to ensure a faithful and harmonious result.
How to create a painted family portrait from several photos?
To create a hand-painted portrait from several photos, simply provide images of each person. The artist will assemble them into a harmonious composition and paint them in oil on canvas with a natural and elegant finish.
Individual portraits: for yourself or as a gift
A portrait or painting based on a photo is an original, elegant, and lasting gift idea.
