The artist you choose will make all the difference in the world.

Marvin Mattelson has been creating award-winning artwork for over 40 years. He is a consummate professional whose portrait paintings meld his great passion for painting with his never-ending fascination with the human spirit. His oil portrait of Sylvia at Seventeen incorporates a contemporary aesthetic with a classical painting sensibility to create a truly unique commissioned work of art – timeless yet timely. Marvin relies on fine craftsmanship and sensitivity to convey the inner essence of his subjects. He treads a fine line, eschewing the all too common pastiche of excessive flamboyant brushwork and oversaturated colors, while also avoiding the opposite approach, of relying on an over-muted color palette. Marvin has the understanding and ability to create beautiful vibrant and colorful portraits that are tasteful, sensitive and brimming with life.

One day my family's portrait will be hanging in the Mattelson Room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I've never seen another painting, whether in a gallery or in a museum, that can rival the beauty of my Mom's portrait. When people see it they are bedazzled!
