This Artist Makes Custom Pet Portraits With a Colorful Twist
We’ve come across some cute customized pet art, but Matea Sinkovec’s pet portraits are unlike any we’ve seen before. Sold on Etsy, her portraits are realistic in shape and expression but totally abstract and inventive in color and texture. They manage to capture the energy of an animal, while covering it in wild patterns.
“What better way to honor our beloved pets than by getting a custom painting of them! The fun patterns and colors reflect their unique personalities while adding a modern touch to a home which will last for years to come,” Sinkovec writes on Etsy.
Her shop currently includes three listings for custom pet portraits: archival prints in either 8.5” x 11” or 13” x 19” sizes and a 30” x 30” original painting, done in acrylic on a cradled wood panel.
Several reviewers wrote that they ordered portraits to memorialize their late pets. “I ordered this as a surprise for my fiancé after we lost our beloved Paisley,” one reviewer said. “We both loved it so much that it moved us to tears when we opened it. It’s absolutely stunning and is a perfect way to honor our little diva.” Others have returned for multiple portraits.
In addition to her pet portraits, Sinkovec also does custom house portraits, which her shop currently offers as original paintings in ink on wood panel of customizable size. She sells her own original artwork on Etsy as well.
