Keep reading to learn more about four occasions that call for a unique gift like a custom portrait painting and contact the artist to have your own portrait commissioned today.

What Is A Custom Portrait Painting?

Before we explain why a custom portrait painting is a suitable gift for these occasions, it’s important that we first explain what a custom portrait painting actually is.

This is a uniquely special work of art that is created by a world-renowned artist, by hand, through a portrait that you hold dearly. Whether you want Aleksandra Szymanska to work from an existing photo or you want to have one taken, we can arrange for either.

A custom portrait painting transforms your portrait into more than just a glossy 5×7 picture — it becomes a living, breathing work of art. Aleksandra Szymanska is lauded for her ability to capture emotion and sentiment in each and every one of her paintings, and her hand oil paintings are sure to become a gift that you or your loved one will cherish for a lifetime.

Our custom portrait paintings are a unique way for you to honor a memory, commemorate an important event, or memorialize a loved one or even a pet.

Here are a few occasions for which gifting a custom portrait painting is ideal:

Commemorate A Pet

Pets are integral parts of countless families across the globe. Our pets become our closest companions, our source for hope and inspiration, and the ones who pick us up in our darkest moments.

That’s why a custom portrait painting is the perfect gift for any pet lover in your life. Aleksandra Szymanska uses her own love for animals to create emotion and encapsulate the spirit of a beloved pet in an oil painting that will last forever.

The artist’s specialty is animals, and specifically capturing the human-animal bond with oil paintings that are unique and timeless. That’s why having one of these paintings commissioned is the perfect gift for anyone who considers their pet to be near and dear to their hearts.

Whether the pet is a new addition to your loved one’s family, or they have recently lost a beloved four-legged-friend, commissioning a portrait of that pet will surely bring a smile to their face.

Wedding

What can you gift the happy couple in the event of a wedding? Chances are, they are going to have plenty of appliances to choose from in the aftermath of their wedding.

So instead of getting them yet another toaster, why not consider a custom portrait painting? It could be from a timeless portrait of the bride and groom together, or their child, their pet, or a landscape image of their favorite romantic spot.

Aleksandra Szymanska is well-equipped to create a thoughtful, encapsulating oil painting that will “wow” the couple.

Make an impression by gifting a custom portrait painting and give the bride and groom something that they will cherish as their marriage blooms.

Anniversary

Along those same lines, what can you give the couple who has it all — we’re thinking about those who have been together for decades, whose love has withstood all of the elements, hurdles, and challenges?

A custom portrait painting is a classic gift that is sure to knock the guests of honor off their feet. Aleksandra Szymanska has a knack for capturing love and emotion through her art, and what better subject could there be than a couple who has been together through it all?

Memorial

An unfortunate truth of life is that death is inevitable.

When it comes calling for someone we love, it can be difficult to endure. But studies show that cherishing the positive memories is one of the surest ways to overcome grief.

If someone you know has suffered a loss, consider a gift that is exponentially more meaningful than flowers. Consider the gift of a custom painted portrait of their loved one, a gift that is sure to stand the test of time and invoke the very memories of that person that can be cherished forever.

Aleksandra Szymanska’s hand oil portraits encapsulate the human spirit and bring the subject back to life.

Housewarming

Housewarming gifts, like wedding gifts, can be hard to come by — especially when you are trying to gift something meaningful.

What better way to celebrate this monumental occasion than with a new, stunning piece of decor? A custom portrait painting is perfect for this situation.

Whether it’s a landscape portrait, a portrait of the house itself, or something else entirely, our commission paintings are hand-crafted to please.
