Jonathan Tribe | Commissioned Portrait
This original portrait of Jonathan Tribe was commissioned by his wife, Dr Helen Szoke AO, as a special 70th birthday gift.
Created by Australian portrait artist Vicki Sullivan, the portrait was developed through a personal photography session, allowing me to gather the reference material needed to capture Jonathan's character, individuality and personality.
I approach every commissioned portrait as a unique opportunity to create something deeply personal and lasting. Beyond capturing a physical likeness, my aim is to convey the character and humanity of the individual, creating an original painting that will be treasured by family for generations.
This portrait was particularly special as it celebrated a significant milestone in Jonathan's life through a thoughtful gift from his wife.
Testimonial by Dr Helen Szoke AO
"What do you give a wonderful man who is turning 70 years old for his birthday? I thought of a portrait, and contacted Vicki Sullivan to commission the work. We began this project in the middle of lockdown, and Vicki arranged a photo shoot at the first safe opportunity. It was an easy and exciting process where the end product is fantastic. The work is so real and authentic, and so exciting to have an original portrait painted by such a talented artist."
