Commission a Painting with a Twist on the Classics

Imagine if the great masters of the past had access to a camera—capturing dozens of sketches and studies before choosing the final pose we know today. What happened to all those unseen moments? The gestures and expressions left on the cutting-room floor?

I bring those lost moments to life.

Using the techniques of the Old Masters, I paint alternate versions of iconic works—reimagined as if the artist had chosen a different moment, a different turn of the head, or a different light. These are the unseen scenes—authentic in style, yet original in vision.

Take this example: Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring”—but moments later, caught in profile, still luminous, still timeless, yet entirely new.

If you have a favorite painting, let me paint the version that never was—but could have been.

A Modern Vision, Painted with Old Master Technique

A contemporary concept born through cutting-edge image generation—then transformed by hand into a traditional oil painting using time-honored methods. This is a fusion of modern technology and classical artistry, where innovation meets the enduring craft of the Old Masters.

Commission a Replica Masterpiece

Own a faithful reproduction of a painting you love but could never acquire—masterworks held in museum collections, brought to life with traditional techniques.

Here is an example: my underpainting in progress of Caravaggio’s The Supper at Emmaus—painstakingly recreated using the same materials and layered methods as the original.

Experience the beauty and drama of the Old Masters, made for your space.
