This portrait of Maria Bottaro was commissioned by Maria herself. From the outset, we worked together to develop a pose that felt right for her, making the creative process a genuinely collaborative experience. I particularly love the pose we settled on, as it brings a lovely sense of character and presence to the finished painting.
Maria was an absolute delight to work with throughout the process, and it was especially rewarding to see just how overjoyed she was with the completed portrait.
For me, commissioned portraiture is about more than simply capturing someone's appearance. It is about creating a personal and lasting work of art that reflects the individual and gives them something truly meaningful to treasure.
