Portrait – A memory of life
Each portrait we create is more than just a likeness—it’s a timeless piece of your story, capturing the essence of who you are in a moment that will never fade. Through every stroke, we seek to preserve not just your features, but the emotions, memories, and connections that make you uniquely you.

‘On a typical evening, my little sister who refused to go to sleep, put her scarf around our father’s (Fred) neck while he sits in front of his desk with a smile. I wanted to record this lovely moment so I decided to draw it. His facial features have strong visual effects, and the different textures of the scarf are interesting to put into a portrait.’
