Realistic Fine Art & Portraits - Paintings and Drawings by Dorian Vallejo

"I can’t stress enough how wonderful the experience of working with Dorian was. Long story short; his portraits of our children are absolutely spectacular, and really capture their spirit in an incredible way. They are some of our most treasured possessions. Dorian even dropped by our home to take photos and meet the kids, and was totally responsive and patient with us for the whole process. The drawings themselves are beautiful, and we really enjoyed the back and forth about what style we were after, and what might work well from an artistic viewpoint (we were pretty clueless, but Dorian is an absolute professional and guided us through!). Many thanks to Dorian, and we strongly, strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a special piece of artwork."

"Dorian made a pencil portrait for me. I absolutely love it! He captured everything I wanted in the piece. And he delivered it quickly, too. Packed it beautifully. I will definitely come to him for future portrait drawings."

"We've had 2 portraits in our family painted by Dorian. Each work is fantastic and really captures the subject's personality. Dorian combines traditional style and technique with a modern sense of color and design. His portraits look both "classic" and contemporary at once. The whole portrait experience is enjoyable as you can watch the process unfold over just a few hours. Dorian also does portraits in pencil and charcoal, so you can choose something larger or "grander" like an oil painting, or something more "intimate" like a drawing. Anyhow, I highly recommend him; he is a very fine artist, and you won't be disappointed!"

"Dorian was amazing to work with. We connected emotionally on the subject photo and he captured the details exactly the way we discussed. Our entire office was blown away by the quality of the artwork. I'm looking forward to another project with Dorian soon."

"We had a wonderful experience in the studio today when we had pencil portraits of our two adult children done. Dorian made better than good on his promise that my wife "love them." From my first contact with the artist to leaving the charming studio with our art, my expectations were consistently exceeded! He captured something in the portraits that the best camera in the world wouldn't have been able to do."
