Portraits

As you can see, most of the portraits here are of women. This doesn't mean I haven't painted men; I simply gave special significance to my female portraits. Perhaps it's because I was a little bit in love with each of them... and each of them was, in a way, my muse. (There is a one I'm still quite in love with to this day.)

       There are also a couple of children's portraits here. Painting children is a unique challenge for artists, especially when done in a classical style. The difficulty lies in avoiding the influence of one’s own age and experience on the portrayal during the lengthy process of working with the canvas. Only now have I begun to understand that a child’s portrait demands a lighter, less verbose approach, so as not to burden the bright, airy image of a child with the weight of my own rugged experience.

       As you can see, under each portrait there is a "Contact Me" button. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss everything, including pricing. Speaking of prices for portraits, let me tell you this: there are none. Or rather, there were, but every time the topic of a commission comes up, the prices on paper become unrecognizable, either increasing or decreasing. The cost of a portrait depends on many factors, even more so than the cost of a still life.
