Woman asleep by Barbara Rettinger Wordpress.com in Warsaw

After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, I have gained years of experience by copying paintings at the National Museum of Warsaw. This unique opportunity has allowed me to study and master techniques of the great masters while developing my own artistic voice. Over the years, I have created oil portraits of adults and children from Poland, Austria, Ireland, and Germany. My forté lies in utilizing classic European painting techniques, developed by the great Flemish masters during the Renaissance and used until the 19th century. Alongside these traditional approaches, I have also developed a personal technique, and modern paintings have become my favourite style. My portfolio includes a diverse range of commissioned works, including surprise gift portraits where clients requested to be depicted in historical costumes. I also specialize in creating high-quality copies of paintings selected by clients, offering versatility that can meet various client needs. Regarding my working process: • Depending on the portrait's size and degree of difficulty, my works typically take between one to three months to complete • I maintain consistent communication with clients, providing photographic updates of works in progress • For clients outside Warsaw or in other countries, I arrange secure shipping via courier services I believe my artistic style and professional approach would complement your agency's portfolio, offering your clients access to both classical and contemporary portrait techniques executed with the highest standards of craftsmanship. I should add that 12000 PLN I accept as minumum for the portrait represents about 3000 USD
