I could not be happier with Marianne’s piece that she did for me. I am not an artist but Marianne really understood what I had in mind and guided me through the process with lots of questions and engagement through all of it. The oil on canvas picture was exactly what I hoped for. The texture, the colours, the figures, the landscape - it was all perfect. She gave good progress updates and delivered the piece on schedule. I’ve provided images of the initial sketch, update and final piece. Would HIGHLY recommend

About
I am a French artist living in London since 1980. I am essentially a painter and my work shifts between figurative and abstraction in order to explore and express what I relate to. I work with a variety of media, essentially oils for the flexibility of the medium, but also acrylics, charcoal, inks and photography. I have a fascination towards the 'soul' or the personality of people revealing itself through the eyes, which often let me explore portraiture of my imagination or those that intrigue me. I find each human being very fascinating. I also explore landscapes and city sceneries, and the composition plays an important part in my work. I frequently travel alone to find inspiration, spending many days in silence, observing, while moving from place to place.

I can replicate designs if it suits my style
