Commissions
How It Works
A private discussion to understand your vision, the subject, and the context for the work. Christian works closely with each client to ensure the finished piece reflects both the character of the subject and the aspirations of the collector.
Christian works from a combination of photography and, where possible, live sittings. Clients typically provide reference photographs, or Christian arranges a dedicated session to capture the subject. He has painted in locations worldwide — from private homes to Meydan Racecourse in Dubai and live on television..
Working across oil, mixed media, and aluminium, Christian develops the portrait through his distinctive process of layered abstraction and figurative precision. The timeline varies by commission but typically spans several months.
The finished work is presented to the client with full documentation. Christian's commissions have been installed in private collections, museum galleries, corporate headquarters, and royal residences.
