It’s the most beautiful and perfect portrait in the whole universe!!! I love it so so much! The clock going backwards (and it was specially nice that it has Roman numbers), the checkered pattern, the butterflies, the cherry blossoms, my Cristal cat!!! And thank you for making it look like me (but younger and more beautiful ☺️)
100% HAND DRAWN
Each portrait is beautifully rendered in a traditional realist style from a photograph, using only graphite or charcoal on museum-quality, archival paper. No AI or digital tools are used—every detail is drawn by hand using classic techniques.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Welcome! I’m Sarmed, a Glasgow-based artist with a background in traditional drawing, honed at the Edinburgh Atelier.
My passion lies in creating expressive, character-filled portraits.
My work has been featured in exhibitions, including as a finalist in the Scottish Portrait Awards and the Scottish Prize for Fine Art.
I’ve also had the privilege of showcasing my art and leading drawing workshops across Canada, the USA, Dubai, and the UK.
As a proud member of the prestigious Paisley Art Institute (PAI, established in 1876), I bring dedication and craftsmanship to every commission.
Let’s create something timeless together!
MY GUARANTEE
Each portrait is 100% hand-drawn by me, using only traditional mediums—no AI, no digital printing, no outsourcing.
You’ll receive a truly original piece of art, crafted with care and authenticity.
