About

Where Light Meets Soul in Monochrome

I’m a portrait artist specializing in realistic black and white oil paintings, shaped by the timeless drama of chiaroscuro. Each portrait begins with a carefully crafted photograph, giving me complete control over light, shadow, and emotion. From lens to work, I strive to reveal the quiet essence of my subjects — not just how they look, but who they are.

Let’s create something lasting — a study in light, soul, and stillness.
