- Jan Portugal has been sculpting more than half her lifetime.
Throughout it all, her favorite subject continues to be interpreting human expression, her portraits seem to catch
the individual reflecting, as if about to speak.
There is a joyful quality in her work, capturing moments of delight,
as if all were right with the world and peace was forever fixed in that expression. Jan has the talent, vision
and ability to render likenesses at their best, evoking heart warming simpatico with the viewer.
What an interesting way to start your loved ones new life, with
a portrait of one of their best moments, allowing them to continue that gift of joyful expression for future generations.
Double urns such as the Angel on the Bull, symbolically hold the
couple timelessly together in a bond of strength and love. Jan can create any combination of double urns ordained
by the client’s wishes.
The mother with her two devoted sons commemorated in a portrait,
shows her expression of warmth and affection able to carry her memory to future progeny.
Special memories or adventures can be depicted in sculpted
pictures instead of words. Anything imaginable can be put onto an urn and Jan has the ability to do it imaginatively.
