Brian Pittman

Brian Pittman is an artist whose work bridges realism, portraiture, and figurative art—blending classical technique with a modern creative approach. Working primarily in oil but also skilled with acrylics, he creates expressive, detail-rich pieces that range from lifelike human and animal portraits to more imaginative compositions that lean into the surreal.

A self-taught painter for over 20 years and a professional tattoo artist for 25, Brian brings both technical precision and creative depth to his art. His years in tattooing have sharpened his eye for line, detail, and composition—skills that stands out especially in his figurative and portrait art.

He draws inspiration from the powerful use of light and shadow and emotional resonance of the Baroque period, the balance and form of the Renaissance period, and the ornamental elegance and stylized linework of traditional Japanese art. Known for his attention to detail and a thoughtful, sometimes unexpected use of color, these influences combine with a lifelong passion for creating work that feels both timeless and imaginative.

Brian is currently open for commissions and welcomes inquires for custom pieces to bring your individual vision to life.
