Painted Portrait by Fernanda Cataldo

Bid to win a painted portrait by Fernanda Cataldo. 

Fernanda builds her subjects through layers of paint, almost like a sculptor. The finished piece is highly accurate but also has that freshness that recalls the process by which it was made. The choice for those who appreciate traditional painting techniques but enjoy contemporary touches.

How it works
Fernanda works from personal photos. Fernanda's gallery, McKay Williamson, will advise the winner on photos which work for Fernanda's style. Once the photo(s) are chosen, the winner will suggest their creative preferences, such as palette. Fernanda then paints the portrait, et voilà.

McKay Williamson is a gallery based in London's Notting Hill, which specialises in art commissions which are personally meaningful. They represent a variety of portrait and landscape artists, working in styles from classic to contemporary, which interpret personal memories into works of art.
