I am a painter, I suggest you paint or draw your friends, children, family, colleagues or your pets from your photos in my workshop in Annecy. The realization of the portrait of your loved ones from a photo (or from a montage of several photos) is a very personal gift that you can offer to mark the major stages in life as well as to celebrate simple moments of everyday life. The work is done with pencils, charcoals, pastels, acrylic paint or watercolor. The drawing is realistic all the while being imbued with the artist's style.
The price of the portraits is studied as accurately as possible, taking into account the quality of the work provided (attention to detail, realism, quality of materials, time spent, care in sending)...
Since the creation of my website over 10 years ago, I have been working in my atelier in Cran Gevrier in the Haute-Savoie, where you are welcome to come to meet me and discover my work (mainly portraits, but also landscapes), which is enriched by a wealth of experience. All of my energy goes into bringing you high quality work, my only goal being to satisfy my customers. These emotionally rich, artistic gifts (related to the events of life, birth, childhood, marriage, motherhood, birthdays, children’s departures, parties, retirement, thank yous, memories…), are a symbol of affection, of love, of friendship, of recognition, even of admiration or respect. A portrait cannot disappoint and leaves neither the giver nor the receiver indifferent. I take great care of my artwork, from the choice of the paper to its protection during delivery, and of course by focusing on the detail and realism of the process. I owe it to myself to capture with kindness and loyalty the personality of my subject and to bring out the unique attributes of each individual, their glow, which emanates a bit of their soul.
As we do not offer any old run-of-the-mill gifts (you will not find the well-known “shopping basket” on this website), I attach considerable importance to exchanges before and during the process, in order to advise you or to obtain your opinion. It is a process which can take a little time (the time it takes to exchange a few emails), but which is necessary for you to avoid making any mistakes in your portrait choice (dimensions, technique, paper, style, composition…). It can also be a moment for you to evoke the subject, and the aspects of your relationship which may be important to you (in complete confidentiality). It is also an opportunity for me to ask for your opinion, to adapt or retouch a portrait by taking into account your comments. It is a possibility to get feedback once the work has been received. These exchanges can occur by email or directly in my atelier if you are able to visit. The prices are fixed and indicated in the table on the “Prices” page. If you have any particular requests (montage of multiple photos, compositions, special formats…), do not hesitate to ask for a personalised quote via my contact page, where I will respond as soon as possible. Finally, if you need the portrait by a specific date, do not forget to plan ahead, especially during the end of year holiday season. Artistic work takes a significant amount of time, onto which must be added the delivery and framing times (the portraits are sent without frames, but feel free to ask me for advice if you need, I can point you in the right direction. If you are from the Annecy region, I could even put you into contact with my framer).
You can also discover some of my other works on this video (exhibition "The passage of time" Alliance Française ANNECY 2019) .
