Artist Statement:
Figure and human form play a
very important element in my
work.
I constantly refer to myself.
Although there are others.
People I care about and people
I meet. I freeze a remembered
moment on canvas. Like the
expression of a thought or a
feeling, somebodys face,
laugher, a grimace, or a body
posture.
The subject which I find for
my work comes from everyday
life and it can be personal or
about something I’ ve seen on
TV or read in a newspaper. I
try to expose many of our
unconcious thoughts as well as
some of the more uncomfortable
human impulses, like envy,
betrayal or humiliation.
Relationships between the
characters in my pictures
depict the power games we play
with each other, games which
end with tears as often as
with laughter.They show
people’s frailty and
vulnerability as well as their
capacity for joy or pleasure,
their cruelty as well as their
affection.
I tell stories of personal and
cultural transformation, of
fear and hope...

How to commission a portrait?
Aleksandra Jarosz Laszlo is an emerging portrait painter. Her talent for capturing the character and personality of her sitter was applauded by the National Portrait Gallery, London in the BP Portrait Award 2006.
Aleksandra undertakes each portrait commission with the very highest degree of professionalism. Aleksandra hopes to form a professional relationship with her sitter, in order to ensure that she creates a final art work that suits both her client's needs and her own artistic creativity and aesthetic.
Preferring to work from photographs that she has taken for herself Aleksandra will need one to two sittings lasting approximately 1-2 hours each. This significantly reduces the time and inconvenience to the sitter. She can either visit you at your home or office. If sittings are not at all possible she will consider working from photographs provided by the client, although these would have to be, good sized, preferably digital images. The larger the selection of photographs the better. Aleksandra will then confirm the final composition with the commissioner before beginning the artwork.. She will begin working on your portrait once she is satisfied that she has a thorough understanding of your character and appearance.
Each commission will take approximately between 4-8 weeks to complete although this time will vary depending upon the client's specifications and the artist's schedule.
Aleksandra works predominantly in oil and acrylic but will undertake portrait commissions in pastels. Her prices correlate to size and composition, see below for a rough guide.
To give you a general idea of his starting prices and sizes, please refer to the list below.
40 x 30 cm oil on linen - £1000
50 x 60 cm oil on linen - £1600
81 x 100 cm oil on linen - £2700
A3 pastel prices start from £600.
Please be advised that the above information is only to give you a general idea of her prices and sizes. Aleksandra Jarosz Laszlo is a flexible portrait painter who is happy to adapt to your needs, budget and requirements.
When do we start?
Once you have agreed the portrait commission a simple contract will be drawn up between you and the artist, and a deposit paid. The portrait is now ready to begin. In most cases, the artist will travel to your location and may stay for a day or more. Travel and accommodation costs are included within Europe. In most cases two to three instalments including the initial deposit are required for the commission. The final instalment will be paid on completion.
