Featured Artworks & Custom Commissions
A curated glimpse into my signature styles, blending realistic floral studies with bold, contemporary abstracts designed to bring warmth and personality to your space.
This commissioned acrylic painting captures the powerful yet serene energy of a lion. I used a combination of deep blues and metallic gold accents to create a piece that feels both majestic and integrated into the client's beautiful home decor.
Here I am with a large-scale floral commission, one of my favorite subjects to paint. The vibrant magenta and deep rose tones are set against a glowing golden background, a technique I love for adding warmth and a touch of shine to any room.
This piece, featuring a delicate hummingbird among lilies, was painted on a custom circular canvas. I used a soft, metallic gold background to give the scene a rich, warm glow, making it a unique and eye-catching piece of nature art for the home.
It is always a joy to see a commissioned piece find its perfect home. This large abstract canvas was designed to complement the modern aesthetic of a client's staircase, adding color, movement, and a central point of interest.
Nothing means more to me than seeing a client connect with my art. This video captures a genuinely happy reaction to my sunflower painting, a piece she described as a 'healer' and 'mesmerizing'. This is why I paint.
This is a contemporary figurative piece that plays with pattern and form. The striking contrast of the checkerboard against the solid green background creates a bold, modern statement, perfect for a space that needs a touch of artistic personality.
A classic still life composition featuring earthy pottery. I used acrylics to build texture and capture the play of light on the different surfaces, creating a piece that brings a sense of rustic warmth and timeless appeal.
About this collection
When you commission a piece, we don't just pick a size and start painting. We begin with a 15-minute virtual consultation to discuss your room's lighting, color palette, and where you want that specific 'chamak' (shine) that my metallic work provides. Before any paint touches the canvas, you receive a conceptual sketch for approval, so you know exactly how the art will fit your space.
My creative practice revolves around translating emotions onto canvas, whether it's the wild energy of a lion portrait or the soft romance of a floral bouquet. My featured works showcase the breadth of this approach.
The Artistic Process
Every commission is a collaboration. Whether you choose fast-drying acrylics for vibrant, layered pieces or textured oils for depth, my goal is to create something that feels like it belongs in your story. My signature style often incorporates metallic accents, using gold or silver leaf to ensure the artwork catches the light and adds a layer of richness to your walls.
Customization for Your Space
I understand that art is an investment in your home's atmosphere. For mid-size and large-format pieces, I offer a digital mockup service, superimposing the sketch onto a photo of your actual wall. This helps us align on scale and placement before I begin. I also coordinate directly with interior designers to ensure the color tones match your existing upholstery and decor. All paintings are finished with a double-coat of UV-protective varnish, meaning your investment is built to last. Whether you need a statement piece for a staircase or a healing, vibrant canvas for your living area, I am here to help you tell your story through art.
