Custom Oil Portrait Commissions

A custom oil portrait commission offers a way to transform a personal photographic reference into a unique hand-painted work. Fedor Lantsov develops each portrait on linen through drawing, tonal organization and layered oil color. The source photograph guides likeness, pose and essential character, while the final decisions about light, color and emphasis remain painterly.

The example shown here demonstrates the studio’s interest in classical portrait lighting, restrained color and gradual transitions between illuminated form and shadow. A commission is not a printed photograph with a filter applied. It is an original physical painting, built through successive stages and adjusted for the scale and atmosphere of the intended setting.

To request a portrait, contact the studio with a clear reference photograph, preferred dimensions, deadline and any important background information. Pricing currently begins within the range shown on the example artwork page. Final cost, schedule, delivery and revision expectations should be agreed before work begins. Because commissioned portraits are made for a specific client, return terms require separate written confirmation.
