Christopher F. Collins
Classical portraits for discerning collectors
Collins is a Seattle-based oil painter who believes portraits should be as layered and complex as the people in them. Using transparent glazes in the 18th-century manner, he paints internationally for maximalist collectors, eccentric aesthetes, and anyone who's ever felt that modern portraiture lacks a certain...drama.

Beautiful things your friends don't have.
In an age of fleeting images, commissioning a portrait is an act of rebellion. It says: this beauty, this presence, this person matters enough to be painted by hand, as in centuries past.
