Would you like to have a portrait painted in oil? Oil painting has been around since the 13th century and has been continuously developed over the centuries. In the past, oil paints were mixed by the artists themselves. Today you can buy oil paints in tubes. Vermeer, Rembrandt, Monet, van Gogh and Dalí are well-known artists who painted with oil.
I can paint your desired painting on a canvas or a solid picture support. The canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher frame. You can hang the finished painting with or without a frame. Each portrait painting is unique and is hand-painted by me with great attention to detail. Special features of my oil paintings are the long durability and the high luminosity of the colors used. Oil paints remain lightfast for centuries and do not fade.
An original variant is to integrate the painting into the room, e.g. with a matching frame.

The full figure: depicts the person standing or sitting from head to toe. The posture of the person is very important for the full-length figure. So are the light and the "backdrop".

A frog's-eye view from below or at eye level can have very different effects in the picture.
