Adam Weaver - Professional Portrait Artist

About the Artist

My portraits are not about what I see, but what I want others to see. What this means to me is that I want people to look at the portrait I painted for them and see the life within it. See the memories contained within it. See the emotions involved between the subject and viewer. I aim for an exact likeness down to the finest details possible, while keeping in mind the relationship and reason why the portrait is being painted to begin with.

Nothing captures the essence of an individual as eloquently as a portrait. A custom oil portrait is the most personal, enduring gift one can give or receive. For over twelve years, I have been specializing in portraiture— the most satisfying genre for me. When I present a portrait, the resulting emotions are wonderful: surprise, wonder, wistfulness and pure joy. Many people find themselves in tears when they receive a permanent reminder of those they love, or of themselves. Nothing could be more rewarding for me than portraying happiness through my portraits.

 

My name is Adam Weaver and I have been into art ever since I can remember picking up a crayon. Photo-realism has always been of high interest and the most fascinating to me, and the ability and coordination an artist needs to execute photo-realism is mind blowing. When I paint, my aim is to capture a likeness. More importantly, I aim to capture something highly volatile, like an emotion or romantic notion. Realism for me is understanding the complexities and fine details of the subject. I develop an understanding of the subject that's both universal and deeply personal. I like to capture the character of the subject, whether it be in the way the fur grows, or that sparkle that shows their soul in their eyes.

To celebrate all the big and little events in life, a portrait is the perfect, constant reminder. For a child’s birth, first steps, the furbabies, graduation, marriage, Mother's and Father's Day— nothing could be more delightful than marking those times with a custom portrait. And to memorialize the people and pets who are no longer with us, a painted portrait is a timeless reminder of the loving, supportive relationships we have known.

"I am absolutely amazed at the talent Adam has. He painted a portrait of my grandson and it was as if I could reach out and touch him. The detail is astounding. I can barely hold my excitement till I give this portrait to my daughter for her birthday. Adam, you have given us a gift we shall cherish forever. Thank you so much." -Candy Young
