Every Kind of Portrait, Painted by Hand

A portrait painting is unlike any other art commission — it is a record of a person at a moment in time, created with care and skill, and destined to be treasured across generations. Blenc Art's portrait commissions range from small charcoal gift pieces to large-format oil portraits for family estates and corporate settings.

👤

Individual Portraits

Professional headshots, formal oil portraits, casual charcoal sketches, and mixed media interpretations of individuals from any walk of life. We work from your photographs to create a painting that captures not just likeness but character, presence, and personality.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family Portraits

Group portraits for families from 2 to 12+ subjects, painted from individual or group photographs. We compose the portrait to place subjects naturally together even when the reference photos were taken separately — ideal for families who are never all in the same place at once.

⚜️

Royal & VIP Portraits

Formal oil portraits for royalty, senior officials, business leaders, and prominent individuals. Painted with the gravity and craft appropriate for subjects of significance. Full confidentiality. Works can be produced in traditional formal or contemporary interpretive styles.

🐾

Pet Portraits

Custom pet portraits in oil, acrylic, charcoal, and mixed media — dogs, cats, horses, and beloved companions of all kinds. Pet portraits make extraordinary gifts and memorial pieces. We require clear photos with good lighting showing the animal's face and character.

🕯️

Memorial Portraits

Painted memorials for loved ones who have passed — created with sensitivity and care from your treasured photographs. A memorial portrait is a deeply meaningful tribute and a lasting gift to a grieving family. We handle all memorial commissions with the utmost discretion and compassion.

Portrait Commission FAQ — Dubai

How do I commission a portrait in Dubai?
Contact us via WhatsApp or our online form with your reference photographs, desired size, and any style preferences. We respond within a few hours with a quote, timeline, and brief consultation. A 50% deposit confirms the commission, with the balance due on completion. Work begins once the deposit is received and we confirm the design direction with you before painting starts.
What format of photos do I need to provide?
We work from your photographs — we need at least one high-resolution photo with good facial lighting. Multiple photos from different angles are always helpful. We can work from existing family photographs (including older or printed photos that we can scan), professional headshots, or informal snapshots. The better the photo quality, the greater the likeness we can achieve. Contact us if you are unsure whether your photos are suitable.
How long does a portrait commission take?
Standard portrait commissions take 7–14 working days from design approval. A small charcoal portrait (A3) may be completed in 3–5 days; a large oil portrait with multiple subjects may take 3–4 weeks. Rush commissions are available for gifting deadlines — please mention your required date when enquiring and we will confirm whether we can meet it.
Can I see a preview before the portrait is completed?
Yes — we share progress photos at key stages of the painting process (typically at sketch/outline, mid-painting, and near-completion). You can provide feedback at each stage and we incorporate adjustments as we go. We never present a completed portrait without ensuring you are fully satisfied with the direction.
