Custom Hand-Painted Oil Portraits by Natalia Kalianova (Kalina) Commissioned portraits start at $10,000 and are tailored to your vision, making them a cherished investment and a meaningful work of art.
I believe every portrait is more than a likeness - it is a story. When you commission a portrait, you receive not just an image, but a timeless piece of art that captures emotion, personality, and presence. I work closely with each client to create hand-painted oil portraits, whether from photographs or live sittings. My goal is to craft a unique and personal work of art, a gift, a memory, and a treasure for generations to come.
