I paint faces of presence, portraits that seek softness, inner light, and the quiet strength of a human being. My portrait work takes two forms:
– the Sainte‑Humanité Portraits, created freely and intuitively, though the underlying model stays the same,
– and personalized portraits, available on commission, for unique connections.
Saint-Humanité Portraits
Sainte‑Humanité Portraits are works I create spontaneously, guided by intuition, colour, and emotional resonance. Each portrait is a unique piece, available in different formats and colour palettes.
I occasionally accept special requests, as long as they remain aligned with my visual universe. To explore my colours and atmospheres, you may visit the Gallery or my Instagram.
If you wish to be notified when new Sainte‑Humanité portraits become available, simply send a message through the Contact page.
Personalized Portraits
Each year, I create a very limited number of personalized portraits. These are intimate works, born from a genuine connection.
I only accept a commission when I feel I can portray the person with sincerity and depth.
These portraits are intended for individuals who wish to receive a deeply personal artwork, rooted in their presence and energy.
Because a portrait is an encounter, commissions are available by application only. I select the projects that create a genuine affinity between your presence and my artistic universe. A selection is made once a month.
Pricing
Personalized portraits begin at €2,000, depending on size and complexity.
A 30% deposit is required to confirm the commission.
Sainte‑Humanité Portraits have variable pricing depending on format and palette.
A detailed quote is provided for each project.
How to Order ?
1 – Tell me about yourself and your project
Please begin by sharing a few words about your request:
- Would you like a portrait of yourself, someone dear to you, or an animal companion?
- Is the portrait for you, a gift, or meant to honour someone?
- Where do you imagine displaying the artwork (on a piece of furniture, on a wall, in which room)?
- Or is this simply a heartfelt desire, with details to be defined later?
If you already have a clear idea (format, colours), feel free to share it.
If you prefer to give the artist full freedom, you may describe your inner world and what resonates with you in my work.
We can also discuss everything during a call if you prefer a direct exchange.
2- the reference photograph
The reference photo is essential.
Ideally, I prefer to meet the person and take the photographs myself, in a bright and comfortable setting.
If this is not possible, you may send your own photos.
3- selection of applications
Each request is reviewed with care within ten (10) days. I will contact you by email to request further details if needed, or to let you know if I am unable to take on the collaboration at this time.
4- Quote and confirmation of the commission
Once the format, colours, support, and timeline are agreed upon, I send you a portrait proposal outlining all conditions.
Selected candidates confirm their commission:
– by email,
– and by paying a 30% deposit to secure the order.
6- CREATION and final approval
The creation time is a minimum of three months.
Each portrait is painted from presence — from nuances, gestures, silences, and the essence of the person.
When the painting is completed but not yet varnished, I send you photos.
I give you time to connect with the artwork.
If everything feels right, I proceed with the varnish.
If something feels off, we can discuss it: I can make one adjustment, focusing only on the specific elements that need refinement (I do not repaint the entire piece).
7- Delivery
Delivery is arranged on a case‑by‑case basis, depending on distance and availability.
