Jakob Emanuel Martinsson Portrait

MY CREDO

Craft-based painter.
Working from grace.
In order to serve.

MY STORY

Born and raised in Vienna, Austria, by a Swedish family. Studies in architecture and over ten years of work experience in construction and interior design. Inspired by painters such as John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn, and Edgar Payne, I began painting from a place of humility and gratitude for life and others.

MY ETHOS

A painter blends a craftsman’s working ethos with an artist’s sensibility. He ought not to strive for self-expression, but for the good, the true, and the beautiful. The honest, patient, and sincere gaze of the painter reveals these wonders of everyday life. A oil portrait, therefore, is always an act of recognition and appreciation of a real person. It says: You are here. We see you. You are loved.

MY WORK

COMMISSION A PORTRAIT

A oil portrait is not a decoration but an expression of dignity. Wheter towards yourself or a loved one. To commission a portrait therefore never is an act of vanity, but a celebration of life.Taking commissions for me is both a pleasure and a privilege – a task I approach with great care and personal dedication. It is quiet a joy to become, for a brief moment, part of someone else’s story and to create a piece that holds meaning in their life.

THE PROCESS

Every commission begins with a personal conversation – either in person or via video call. The aim is to define the project clearly: subject, pose, color harmony, and format.After this first exchange, I invite you to a short sitting (about 30 minutes) in which I take reference photographs and make preliminary sketches. If you are unable to travel to Vienna, I can also work from an existing photograph, and I am happy to advise you in choosing a suitable reference. (Please note: I cannot combine multiple photos or depict people from different angles than the ones provided.)

Depending on the chosen format, the completion of the portrait takes between four and six weeks. The finished work can be collected in Vienna or delivered free of charge within the city. Worldwide shipping is also possible, with costs depending on the destination. Upon request, I am glad to advise you on framing options, and the painting can also be delivered framed at an additional cost.
