Fine Art Portraits

R.J. Romero is recognized for the use of rich colors, a romantic realistic style, and attention to detail in both fine art and portraits. With an eye for detail and mastery of anatomy, R.J. Romero uses traditional ‘old master’ techniques to produce vibrant images in oil paints or pastel. Romero Art Studio portraits are true original works of art, hand rendered to clients’ specifications. They are not digitally manipulated photos printed on canvas, like some websites who market cheap “portraits” from photos on the internet. Each R.J. Romero portrait is a unique creation by the artist, using the materials and techniques utilized by master portrait painters for centuries.

“Portraits are the most personal and emotional artwork that people will ever own. I take that responsibility very seriously. Nothing is more important or satisfying as bringing a portrait to life.”

Pastel Portraits

Pastel is nearly pure pigment; a classic drawing medium that is known for its immediacy and brilliance of color. Pastel was favored by famous artists like Delacroix, Manet, Mary Cassatt, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Degas.  Our pastel portraits are mounted with a matt, ready to frame, and can be shipped  within two weeks.

Below are some examples of pastel portraits. While best efforts have been made to represent the original artwork as accurately as possible, keep in mind that the images below can not do justice to the color, depth, and detail of the originals.

Portraits in Oils

Oils are the classic medium for portraiture. Each portrait is hand painted by the artist using the finest materials and techniques of the old masters. After appropriate drying time, the oil painting is varnished to protect the painted image. Oil portraits are carefully packaged and shipped to you within 6-8 weeks from the time your order is placed.

“Portrait painting isn’t just a job for me – it is a passion! Capturing both the likeness and spirit of the subject – in the mischievous sparkle of a child’s eye or the expression of an adult who has weathered the highs and lows of life – is the greatest challenge and the most fulfilling aspect of painting a portrait.”
