Hi, I’m James Razko.
Timeless Portraits
Specializing in 24K gold drawings, graphite drawings, and oil paintings. Made by hand, for you.
24K Gold Drawings
I use a 24K gold stylus to draw directly onto prepared paper, a technique rooted in the silverpoint tradition dating back over 600 years. Unlike silver, gold will never tarnish or fade, ensuring the portrait remains luminous for generations. This rare metalpoint method produces a delicate finish unique to gold.
Graphite Drawings
Graphite allows for a broad range of tonal values and high contrast, offering a distinct alternative to the subtle nature of goldpoint.
Oil Paintings
Rooted in a tradition dating back over five centuries, I create oil portraits using professional-grade pigments on archival surfaces. This process achieves a depth and richness of color that remains unsurpassed. The final work is a museum-quality piece designed to endure for generations.
