Oil portraits

Oil painting is ideal for portraits due to its rich colors and smooth texture, which allow artists to capture subtle skin tones and expressions with precision. Its slow drying time enables fine detail work, resulting in realistic and deep renderings. Additionally, oil portraits maintain their vibrancy and beauty over time, making this technique a preferred choice for immortalizing faces.

Pastel Portrait

Pastel portraiture is an art of sensitivity and precision, where every line, tone, and shadow come together to bring the gaze to life.
Through the softness of pigment and the richness of color, pastel captures not only physical features but also the essence and emotion of each person portrayed.

With its delicate texture and incomparable luminosity, this technique gives portraits an intimate and timeless presence — as if time were suspended in a moment of truth.
Each work is born from the meeting of careful observation and artistic expression, transforming the simple into the memorable, and the fleeting into the eternal.

Biographical note:

"Michael, an artist at heart since childhood, began by sketching comic strips filled with imaginative characters and stories. In the 1980s, he honed his skills in live portrait art in Montmartre, Paris, near the Sacré-Cœur. Later, he pursued a Web Design course in Brussels and moved to Portugal in 2001. In 2003, he launched a website offering charcoal and pastel portrait commissions based on photographs, which caught the attention of private studios and led him to teach Fine Arts on the south bank of the Tagus River. Inspired by this experience, he opened his own studio in Azeitão, which remained active until the Covid-19 pandemic. At the end of 2023, he embraced the challenge of illustrating the book *In My Time*, blending his artistic talent with his graphic design experience. This was followed by illustrating *The Seven Tales of Aunt Joana*, a 64-page book. Since then, Michael has devoted herself to oil painting, a medium he explores with passion and sensitivity, without abandoning charcoal, whose expressiveness continues to inspire her work. His works, each one a unique piece, are now available on commission.
