The Magic
Before & After
Every commission starts with a single photograph — of you, or of you and the animal you love. Aura & Archive transforms it across twenty-eight curated styles, from Van Dyck court portraiture and da Vinci sfumato to contemporary editorial. The same face, painted as it might have been painted in another century.
Before & After
One photograph. Twenty-eight interpretations.
Each style is a different language for the same subject — Renaissance restraint, Pre-Raphaelite reverie, Vienna gold, editorial monochrome. Always recognisably you.

Da Vinci
Every style tells a different story.
The collection spans the High Renaissance through contemporary editorial: Leonardo’s sfumato, Botticelli’s tempera line, Sargent’s confident brushwork, Klimt’s gold, Vermeer’s window light, the black-and-white sensibility of today’s magazines.
Each rendering preserves the subject’s likeness as the non-negotiable centre — face shape, eye colour, expression — then reinterprets the rest in the language of the chosen master. The result is always unmistakably you, and unmistakably art.
