MADE-TO-MEASURE ART GALLERY

A custom portrait is a portrait made at the invitation of a client by an artist. Happy Funky Family gives you the opportunity not to pose for hours on end in front of an artist. painter or a designer. All you have to do is send a simple photo of your mobile phone or computer and that’s it.

On the other hand, you must understand that the artist is not a psychic, he cannot guess what is in your head. You must therefore express your expectations in detail. To do this, we invite you to give us as much information as possible about your wishes for the composition, the choice of your clothes and/or accessories, your favourite colours or those to be avoided, and your wishes for the decor (sea, nature, forest, vintage decor etc…) when placing your order. Please do not hesitate to send us additional photos to illustrate your wishes and to specify if you have a reference photo.

There are of course sublime works of art for all tastes, all styles and all budgets. However, nothing can match the joy and happiness of a commissioned work. Our clients immerse themselves in their family history to describe to us the characters that will constitute a work of art. This first introspection is already a source of happiness. Offering a personalised portrait is above all offering love, yours and that of the artist. A commissioned portrait is in a way a mirror of the soul, it is in any case a work of art with a real extra soul. It is a real luxury to be able to afford the talents of an artist and for lovers of the handmade, the unique and the original an absolute bargain. The more we advance in a digital world, the more the human element becomes the absolute luxury.

Other clients want to freeze in marble the most beautiful moments of their life: a birth, a wedding, a family reunion… and admire daily a work that will remind them of these magical moments. In this case, the commissioned portrait makes it possible to immortalise the ephemeral.
There is much talk about the scourge of the 22nd century: loneliness. A commissioned portrait is not only a way of saying I love you to your loved ones, but also a way of reminding everyone that their loved ones are always at their side.
A commissioned portrait is simply a piece of work that speaks to the client’s heart. Admiring loved ones in art form is ultimately a form of grace! We all need that “je ne sais quoi” that makes life more beautiful and makes us feel good.

Our artists transform one or more photos into a unique and personalized work of art.

They work from digital photos but nothing prevents you from scanning or photographing paper photos and sending them to us.

The better the quality of the photos, the easier it is for the artist to use them. It is always better to send more photos than less.

Often customers tell us, I couldn’t find a good picture!!! It does not matter. Our artists put their creativity at your service to transform a banal photo into a work of art.

Do I need one or more photos? There are actually two cases:

Artists who can use multiple photos
It is the artists who interpret your photos and use them for inspiration, illustrators like Lison or Carole, all painters and drawers. You can send them photos of different people in several photos as long as the light is similar and the pose can be reused, photos of the decor, photos of accessories or clothing to be integrated etc…

2. Artists who start from a single photo

These are the artists who use the photo in the work of art: digital illustrators like Olivier who rework and recolour the image, Cécile A. who starts from a single photo to redraw it, Esther who proposes a cyanotype treatment, embroiderers who use it as a base, Ced who will exploit it with digital confetti, Polette who will rework it and paint it on plexi, Marie-Ange, a talented feather worker etc. ….

In both cases, it is always important to define a reference photo that serves as a basis for the artist to work on the composition.

At each step, the sisters, Caroline and Nathalie are at your disposal to inform you by mail or by phone if you have any doubt or question.

A commissioned work is a unique gift made for the recipient. By choosing the right artist, you can match colour and style to the personality of the recipient of the portrait. In our catalogue you will find a wide range of techniques and styles to suit all tastes and budgets: painters, designers, digital illustrators, photographers, ceramists, embroiderers and even specialists in paper or digital collage. The Happy Funky Sisters are two consultants ready to advise you at any time.

Some customers order a portrait for a specific location. We’ve heard it before: my wall is blue and is this size, who do you recommend? Or, I have this beautiful Scandinavian sideboard that is 2.5 metres long and I want a painting to put on top of it. In these cases, we try to find out a little more about the client’s taste in interior design and generally recommend the three artists who are closest to their affinities. The advantage of a commissioned portrait in this case is that you are free to choose the format and to direct the artist towards the colour palette that will best suit your interior.

Some clients order a personality portrait for a special occasion, a wedding, a baptism, a retirement. In this case, we try to know the artistic sensibility of the recipient and advise artists sometimes specialized in children, weddings or even animal portraits!

It’s a nice way to remember and to tell each other, but also to do something for yourself: a pleasure to be admired without moderation on a daily basis. Ready to create your work of art together? a little attention for a big emotion.
