Commissions

Whether for formal or informal, single, family or groups, oil, pastel or charcoal, Valeriy produces portraits of character. The examples of his commissioned portraits shown on this website illustrate the quality and range of his work.

Every sitter is special and unique. Portraits reflect this through the relationship developed during the painting process and the skills and experience that Valeriy brings.
