Short history of the art of portraying

Rome, the residence of the artist

A portrait is not a simple, three dimensional photograph. A portrait must be alive.

In a portrait the outward appearance comes together with the inner character, bringing the inside out, revealing the hidden but essential parts of a person. Like the human face, a portrait has different facets and it is this that makes the bust so precious.

Many reasons to commission a portrait:
- to honour a loved and respected person in a very special way, such as for a birthday or jubilee.
- to surprise someone with a unique and very personal gift.
- to capture the charm of a period in life in a unique way, such as with children or teenagers.
- with one of yourself, to surprise your family or your enterprise.

Whatever the reason may be, a portrait is always something very unique and personal.
