Why Commission a Sports Portrait?

It captures achievement, dedication and character.

Whether it is:

a professional athlete
a personal milestone (marathon, championship, tournament)
a child’s first big victory
a retirement gift for a coach
or a corporate award

a hand-painted sports portrait transforms a fleeting moment into a lasting artwork.

Oil or Acrylic?

For highly detailed portraits with depth and subtle transitions, oil painting offers exceptional richness and atmosphere.

For dynamic, bold and contemporary compositions, acrylic allows expressive contrasts and modern intensity.

Both techniques are fully hand-painted in the studio.

The price for a commissioned painting depends on the size and detail of the chosen motif: A landscape often requires fewer fine details than a painting featuring people. For example, a reproduction of an existing painting can be offered at a lower price than a portrait commission with many intricate details.
