Atlanta's PROCESS
ENVISIONING
A face can be an open book or a complete mystery. It is only when I fall in love with the form and the substance of an object that I begin to truly capture its essence. Call me the Beauty Architect. Tell me who and why, and I will help you create an outstanding portrait infused with honour, beauty, stardust, heroism and genuine awe.
There is nothing like observing a person's personality, temperament and features live. I love to get to know a person in person, or at least via video link if possible. A photo shoot in my studio in Cologne or a video call is usually enough to find exactly what I need to start working on the manifestation of the vision. This is followed by weeks of meticulous studio work.

Everything is created twice.
Apply for the initial consultation to see if we are a good fit. Once we agree to start this exciting journey together and sign the paperwork, I'll create reference photos or start preliminary drawings form your professional photographs.
As I navigate the halfway point of our artistic expedition, we'll connect again through a video call. This is a special moment for you to see the progress and contribute to the mid-journey reflections.
With the initial sketches ready, it's time for you for your input. Once you're thrilled with the direction, I'll gather the most exquisite art materials, preparing for the creation of your masterpiece. Now, the real magic begins: weeks of meticulous studio work.
As I put the final touches on your portrait, I will organise a custom framing that is ready to hang when it arrives. Your Masterpiece will be carefully packaged and sent to you, or we can arrange a grand unveiling in my studio.

Frequently asked questions
What is the payment process?
After you sign the contract, a deposit will be paid. There is usually a second instalment in the middle and the final instalment after finishing the artwork. All invoices can be paid online.
I don't live in Germany. How can you take reference photographs of me?
If you can't make it to my studio, you can send me professional photographs you like. Otherwise, I can recommend or book a photographer near you who will do quality work.
The person I would like you to paint can not attend.
As I don't do live painting, good quality rference photographs of this person are usually enough.
Do you paint animals?
Not as standalone portraits. They might play a supporting role within a human portrait, though.
I can't decide between drawing, photography and painting.
I am sure you will know it by the end of our discovery call. I only accept very few commissions per year, therefore book a time slot to avoid delays.
Do you publish the process on Instagram?
No. Internet never forgets and face recognition technology is thriving. To protect your privacy and ensure confidentiality of my clients, I have a policy to never share any details of your commissioned artwork, including its existence. Only if you ask me to.
How long does it take?
The intricate process of oil, including drying times, requires a minimum of 3 months. A drawing might take 2 months and a fine portrait photograph up to 1 month.
