Sabbi Gavrailov is willing to accept commissions
Art has followed me since childhood—and the drive to create only grows stronger.
My paintings begin with sketches and photographs I take during travel, everyday life, or quiet moments of reflection. Portraits and figurative work are my core focus, though I also find deep joy in still life and landscapes.
For me, a portrait starts with expression. I often lose hours combing through my image library, waiting for that one look—an emotion that speaks. When I take on a commission, I always aim to meet the subject in person and take my own photographs. That personal connection makes all the difference.
The real reward? It's the moment the finished portrait is revealed and the client falls silent—captivated. That first reaction is what drives me.
But being an artist isn’t just about painting. It’s about contributing to the art community—sharing knowledge, supporting local culture, and inspiring the next generation to create.
