About Us

Melanin Daune

My art is a kaleidoscope of rich colours and textures determined to showcase my subject in a whole new light.

There is nothing tamed or subdued about a Melanin Daune portrait. It is meant to excite and awe. Your life deserves some colour!

The Process

From start to finish it is very important that you are happy with your artwork. The experience should be one that you remember forever, so we endeavour to make it so that you are completely pleased with the final project.

Save My Spot

After our initial consultation and we are given the go ahead, we will slot you into the calendar. Each Canvas portrait takes four weeks from start to completion while each jacket takes two weeks. In order to ensure there are no delays and overlaps, you will be placed in order of your request.

Colour Palette

Colour is so important to the process. During our initial consultation, we will discuss the colours that you would like in your artwork. You decide the main colours and colour scheme of your portrait. If you have selected a customized jacket, we will discuss the overall vision you have for your jacket including colours and text.

Creative Process

After the colours are chosen and we have added you to the calendar, you will provide several images that could be developed into the portrait. It is important that the images are clear, high resolution and a close up of the face.

My partner and I are determined to provide you with the best experience.

The Melanin Daune experience is not just about the final product. It is about the journey. The journey of creating an artwork that you will enjoy for years to come. It is important that you are satisfied and feel like an integral part of the art making process. It is YOUR artwork and we want you to enjoy it the fullest extent.

About Ntianu

The Artist

I have always been drawn to the uniqueness of the human face and therefore drawn to portraits. I want to showcase my subjects with all the complexities and subtleties of their faces. I want them to look at their art piece and see the innate beauty that we all possess.

My Clients Say...

Ntianu’s art pieces are absolutely gorgeous! She has a great eye for detail and dimension in her portraits. She asked me what I wanted and incorporated all the colours and tones that I requested. Her love for art definitely shows in her work. I can’t wait to hang it on my wall!

My Clients Say...

I’ve had an outstanding experience with Melanin Daune. I was a little hesitant at first, given prior experiences with different artists, but Ntianu helped quell my fears. She listened with care and attention to the elements I wanted emphasized and colours I wanted her to highlight in my self-portrait. In a way that is uniquely perceptive to artists, she captured my words and transformed them into an inspirational vision that I can now share with others.

I asked Ntianu to create a wedding gift for my husband. I had a bunch of ideas in my head but I am not artistic. Not only was she able to take all my ideas, but she created a beautiful painting beyond my expectations! I absolutely love it and my husband does too! It was the absolute perfect gift and we have an amazing piece of art in our home now. So thankful for Ntianu and her talent!
