The painted portrait
A work conceived to preserve presence, character and memory through a hybrid practice between photography, painting and manual gesture.
A commission is an act of authorship: yours and the artist’s, working in dialogue. From an intimate portrait to a monumental abstract work, each piece we create is unique, intentional and conceived to endure.
At Galerie Portraits, a commission is the most intimate act of collecting. Whether you are seeking a portrait of deep psychological intensity, an abstract painting that defines a space, or a large-scale work for a corporate or institutional setting, the process begins with a conversation and culminates in something irreplaceable.
The process is direct, discreet and carefully guided: defining the vision, preparing the artistic proposal, creating the work and delivering the final piece with its certificate of authenticity.
Works conceived to preserve presence and memory.
Works conceived to dialogue with architecture and collection.
Works conceived for spaces with their own identity.
We believe the process of commissioning an artwork should be as considered as the artwork itself. Each stage is handled with complete transparency, and your involvement is welcome throughout. No surprises — only discovery.
A private conversation with the artist — in Valencia or by video call — to understand your vision, the intended space and what the work should convey. There is no commitment at this stage.
The artist prepares a written proposal including the conceptual direction, technique, dimensions, timeline and detailed price. You review it, and we refine it together until it is exactly as it should be.
The work begins once the agreement has been accepted and the deposit received. You will receive updates according to the agreed timeline, with images of the work in progress and the possibility to provide comments before completion.
A final high-resolution preview is shared for your approval. Once confirmed, the work is signed by the artist, finished and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity.
The remaining balance is paid before delivery. Museum-grade packing and fully insured shipping are arranged to any destination worldwide. Specialist installation is available upon request.
“I do not paint what I see. I paint what endures beneath the surface: the structure of a life, the weight of experience, the quiet authority of a person who has earned their place in the world.”
Séfora Camazano works at the intersection of photography, oil painting and gold leaf, in a practice exhibited in Valencia, New York, Basel, Zurich, Paris, Dubai, Berlin, Venice and beyond. Her commissions are sought by private collectors and institutions who understand that the most powerful artworks are those created with full intention.
Each commission accepted by Galerie Portraits reflects the artist’s personal commitment: to the subject, to the collector and to the permanence of the image.
A work conceived to preserve presence, character and memory through a hybrid practice between photography, painting and manual gesture.
A piece created from an emotion, a place or a specific atmosphere; conceived to dialogue with architecture, collection and space.
A work conceived for a specific space, where scale, light and presence are integrated into a piece created to endure.
The first step costs nothing. A private consultation with the artist is complimentary, whether you know exactly what you want or simply know that you want something extraordinary.
