Vérité
Close to your photo, with finely painted faces and a light brushstroke in clothing and background. The light and setting of your photo stay, only calmer, so the faces come first.

memory can become.
Every Kalana portrait starts with a photograph you love and becomes a canvas painted by hand. Browse real-life occasions and choose the feeling that is closest to yours.
Choose your feeling
Six painting
directions.
Pick the visual direction that feels right in the Studio. Your artist paints the final work by hand, so every canvas remains one of a kind.
Noblesse
You, your loved ones or your pet in historical dress, with velvet, lace or a single pearl. Deep, muted colours against drapery or a soft landscape, dignified and festive.
Jardin
Your subject in clear, gentle light, surrounded by flowers and leaves in thick, raised paint. Fresh, light colours such as cream, sage and powder pink.
Lumière
Summer light in short, loose brushstrokes and soft pastel colours, with water, garden or meadow around you. Recognisable by pose and silhouette more than by sharp detail.
Patrimoine
One warm light from the side, a golden glow on face or fur, and the rest fading into a deep, warm dark. Quiet and dignified, as if it has always hung there.
Impasto
Everything is laid on with a palette knife, faces included, in thick paint that catches the light. Behind it, calm fields of colour.
From photo to painting
Your preview
is the start.
Use the Studio to see a private style preview from your own photograph. When you are ready, you order securely on Etsy. An artist then paints the final canvas by hand, with its own real brushwork and texture.
