INTRODUCTION


Hi there! We are Anny and Miro and we are portrait artists from Gabrovo - a small town located in the heart of Bulgaria. We've got an experience of over 25 years, but only recently we decided to move into the digital world.

Art is our passion and it's our mission to make it accessible for everyone. We created MasterpieceDirect to enable everyday people to easily commission personalised original art online. We love making people happy with our art and want to reach as many people as possible. That's why we are now creating beautiful portraits for our online customers from throughout the world.

Just our weird cat and mental support.
She's also the one who sometimes

HOWIT ALL BEGAN


25 years ago we decided to open an outdoor studio in Albena, Bulgaria to use during the summer months. It's a seaside resort where people from all over the world come to enjoy the sea waves and the golden sands. In the beginning we were painting portraits from Life - it was fun and people loved it! Seeing the spark of happiness in their eyes when they see the finished portrait made us realise this was what we wanted to do with our life.

Today, two decades later, we still use our outdoor studio in the summer! We're now painting portraits from reference photos and over the years, we have perfected our technique and our art is of exceptional quality.

Let the photographs tell the story...

ART IS OURpassion.
PEOPLE ARE OURinspiration.


People are beautiful. Each portrait reminds us of the overwhelming beauty every individual has. Each portrait gives us the opportunity to better understand and become more intimate with the Pastel technique's magic as well as appreciate the relationship between the artist and the model. Each time a customer commissions a portrait, it's a new creative journey in the world of Art!

With more than 25 years of experience, feedback has always been remarkable and we've met clients from all over the world! We honestly believe that the tradition of realistic classic drawings is still alive, fresh and will only grow in popularity.

THE BEAUTY INPERSONALISED ART


We believe that in the connected world we live in, art should be accessible for everyone. That's why here on the web we want to provide you a simple and easy way to get affordable and personalisable original artworks.

The beautiful thing about customised art is that it's personal and unique. Art tells a story and makes the ordinary magical. And personalised art tells your story in a magical way.

None of this would have been possible without the support and enthusiasm of people like you. We would love you to be a part of our journey to make the ordinary magical and if you are an existing customer - thank you, or if you are considering to commission original art, then we look forward to setting up on a new creative journey with you!


Best regards,




Why not bring some magic into your life and commission an artwork?
