My caricatures are the perfect individual and unique presents for anyone and for any occasion - birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, retirements etc. You can have your subject (or yourself!) immortalised in caricature form in a portrait style, or with full body and background, in full colour or in black & white.

By "two persons" I mean a double portrait - i.e. a couple, two kids, two best friends etc. represented together on the same page. Family or group portraits need a larger size.

Discount policy

The basic rule is that any extra person gets:

1. A fixed discount of 10 €

2. An added discount of 5, 10 or 20 € depending on the style you choose.

Example A Family Portrait* with five persons, around 17"x24" (43x60 cm) or larger:

Sketch style: base price 50 €, extra person discounted price 35 €, total amount 190 € instead of 250 € !

Pastel style: base price 70 €, extra person discounted price 50 €, total amount 270 € instead of 350€ !

Oil on canvas: base price 200 €, extra person discounted price 170 €, total amount 880 € instead of 1000 € !

*Family portraits are a good way to add value and class to your living/working environment (whether it's home or office).

All portraits are head and shoulders and the sizes are approximate (around 12"x17" or 30x43 cm). If you would like a different size to the ones here please let me know.

Custom works

The pricing of these works is made on a time & complexity base. As an example, the portraits of the Manucci family (Rome, Italy) that were painted directly on their bedroom wall included a photo session, some research for the outfits and the frame design and a couple of weeks of work, for a total price of 1000 Euro (about 1350 USD or 875 GBP).
