Britain's Favourite Portrait Artist

Christopher Dent


The Future of Your Family History

"Stunning digital-oil portrats on canvas, which transcend traditional paintings and photography! This is the gift of a lifetime and will be loved for a lifetime!"


Using a unique and revolutionary combination of the latest advancements and traditional painting techniques, former English Lecturer turned Professional Artist Christopher Dent hand paints portraits using his laptop along with a graphics tablet, stylus and his state-of-the-art customised paint program to create original paintings in virtual digital oils.

If the client wishes the finished painting can be further embellished using traditional clear acrylic for an added 20% of the commission fee. Christopher's pioneering methods  have earned him the nick-name of the "Laptop DaVinci"

Christopher's work has been displayed in over 40 countries and featured on national TV and in the national press. Many of his portrait paintings adorn the homes of UK celebrities.
