Children's portraits

I have painted numerous portraits of children and babies. What better way to immortalize the most important person in the world on canvas!

Child portraiture is one of the most fascinating art forms. The world of children is wonderful and unique. As a professional portrait painter, I strive to understand and depict children's character and distinctive features.

The process is easy for the client and does not require the child to pose extensively. I can take several photographs and possibly draw short sketches on-site in an environment familiar and safe for the child.

I create child portraits using various techniques (oil paint, acrylic on canvas, watercolor, pastel, and charcoal on paper).

Many thanks for your amazing work!

Svetlana, I would like to extend my warmest thanks to you for creating the official portrait. The artwork is exceptionally natural and lifelike, and its subtle symbolism tells a story about the principal's work, values, and personality, as well as the school's long history and continuity, in a way that truly touches the viewer.

Working with you was pleasant, smooth, and professional from beginning to end. You have the ability to listen, interpret, and create a work that exceeds expectations – and that is exactly what happened this time too.

The portrait received great praise immediately after its completion and continues to do so. Your artwork will be an important and valued part of the history of our institution, Helsingin Suomalainen Realilyseo, now Ressu and Ressu IB Upper Secondary School. The portrait is displayed in our old main hall.

- Ari Huovinen, Principal, Ressun lukio
