Commissioned Pet Portrait: Oil on Canvas by Viktoriya B in New York

I am Viktoriya, a New York-based artist with a strong background in fine art and a passion for the tactile, timeless nature of oil on canvas. My work is centered on creating soulful, impressionistic pieces that celebrate the beauty of the handmade. My primary focus is custom painting commissions, where I specialize in capturing the unique spirit and personality of people and animals through rich textures and atmospheric brushwork. I believe the best portraits start with the right inspiration, so I enjoy working closely with my clients to select the perfect reference photo together, ensuring the final painting resonates deeply. In cases where a high-quality photo isn’t available, I also offer creative pet photography sessions to capture your "best friend" in the best possible light before we begin. Beyond the canvas, I create immersive indoor murals that transform residential and commercial interiors into artistic experiences. I am also deeply passionate about teaching, sharing the techniques of oil painting to help others discover their own creative voice. Along with my original commissions and murals, I offer high-quality prints for those looking to bring a touch of impressionism into their homes.
