New Portrait Artworks

The gap is mostly size and surface. Small originals on paper or card start around $72, while large oils on canvas built over weeks reach about $3,000, with the middle of this group near $825. The mediums vary too, from oil and acrylic on canvas to original coloured pencil, watercolour and ink. A low price here always means a small original, never a print of a bigger painting.

Yes, Amir Fazelian is the clearest example in this group. Some of his portrait work is watercolour and ink on cardboard rather than paint on canvas, which is why those pieces look different and price differently from the oils. Work on paper or card should be framed behind glass to last, so plan for that cost. The rest of this collection is oil, acrylic or original coloured pencil.

Every piece is checked before listing, and some do not make it. We photograph the work in daylight, measure it, and inspect the signature, the stretcher or board and the surface. If a corner is soft or the finish is still curing, it waits. We also turn down work that closely repeats something the same artist already sold here, because a one of a kind piece should be one of a kind.

Yes, send us the artist's name and we will write to you when new work by them arrives, usually before it appears publicly on the site. Ziba Vishteh and Marjan Mousavi are two we get asked about most. We do the same for buyers who want a particular size range or budget. This is a manual list we keep by hand, so message us any time to come off it.

They pick the face and forget the eyeline. A portrait looks out at the room, so it works badly on a wall you only ever approach from the side, or one facing a bright window where you catch glare instead of the gaze. Hang portraits where you meet them head on, at standing eye level, in a hall, on a stair landing or beside a reading chair.

You send it back within 14 days and get every dollar returned, with the return shipping paid by us. There is no restocking fee and no argument about it. Pack it in the box it arrived in, message us, and we will arrange the label. Portraits get stronger reactions than anything else we sell, which is exactly why the trial exists.

As the artists finish them, with no fixed schedule. Hand-painted portraits take weeks of work, so arrivals come in waves rather than on a calendar. Checking this page every few weeks is enough to see everything fresh, and the works-in-progress page shows what is coming before it is listed.

Every new portrait is a hand-painted, signed original, one of a kind, with a Certificate of Authenticity included. We make no prints or reproductions of our paintings. When a new arrival sells, that image is gone from the market permanently, which is exactly why watching new work pays off.

No. We price by size, medium, and the time in the piece, not by how recently it arrived. Gallery prices start around $72 for small works. A new arrival costs what the same painting would cost a year from now, so there is no penalty for buying early and no discount for waiting.

It is gone; originals cannot be reprinted, and we will not pretend otherwise. Sold pieces move to our sold archive, which stays online permanently. If a sold work was close to what you wanted, contact us and we can point you to available pieces in a similar spirit, or discuss a commission.

Yes. Our watch art being made page shows works in progress from our artists, including portraits, before they are photographed and listed. It is the closest thing to standing in the studio, and it gives you a head start on pieces that often sell quickly once they go live.

No. Every new arrival ships free and fully insured, arrives in about 3 to 7 business days in Canada or 5 to 10 to the USA, and comes with our 14-day home trial: if it is not right on your wall, you get a full refund and we pay the return shipping.
