“I wanted to create something really special and personal  for my partners 40th birthday. I spoke with Simon about what I was thinking and he orchestrated something really incredible. Simon’s commitment to this from start to finish and his level of craftsmanship and talent are second to none.

We did a photo shoot, we then chose the photo he was going to use and he went to work.

The beautiful oil painting on linen is now proudly hanging above our bed, my partner was in disbelief when he first saw it. It’s absolutely beautiful and truly a work of art”

“When I received the artwork created by Simon, I was completely blown away! Each stroke is a reflection of his ability to connect with the subject and allow life to gracefully flow onto the paper. I highly recommend Simon to anyone wanting beautiful artwork for themselves or a loved one.”

“Today Milena open her present for her 70th Such a great surprise!!! for her which brought little bit tears in her eyes. And as you can see she is happy and she is going to hang it in her bedroom. From my heart I thank you very very much 😊 for such a wonderful masterpiece, just wonderful and great and thoughtful the way you put the photos together and the painting is just perfect 👌🏽 I really appreciated your great work!!!”

“Simons portrait was nothing short of amazing. He was able to join two images together from a photograph making a brand new memory. 

Will be using Simon again in the future.”

“Thank you so much for the amazing and gorgeous painting that you did for me. I am beyond thrilled to say it is hanging up nicely in my home and It brings tears to my eyes, how great it is to see my family all painted together. I will definitely be referring to more oil paintings from you in the future 😄”

“In 2019, we engaged the services of Simon Aberle, a Visual Artist to prepare a family portrait representing my parents-in-law and grandmother-in-law (who have passed away) and the kids. My little one never got the chance to meet his grandparents and his great-grandmother, and I never got the chance to meet my parents-in-law either. Since unfortunately we never had the opportunity to have a family portrait together, we provided Simon with photographs and asked whether he could create a family portrait from those photos.

The results were simply amazing. The portrait he created is not only incredibly lifelike but appears as though we all posed together for the portrait. His attention to detail was impeccable. The quality of Simon’s work is truly unbelievable and very heartwarming.

We also want to thank Simon for the video he produced, it brought our family to tears. We have since engaged Simon for a second time to create a Christmas gift for another family member, and they absolutely loved it too.

We thank Simon on behalf of our family and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. He has a truly special gift.”

“Sigh is the most amazing artist. We commissioned him to do a portrait of our most precious baby, Tinkerbelle. We were simply stunned at his skills, to be honest. The process was easy, we just needed to supply him with some suitable photographs.

I would highly and unreservedly recommend Sigh for a personalised portrait.”

“Simon Aberle was recommended to me in 2021 by a very good friend. On her advice I contacted Simon and  asked him to create a painting of my two dogs.

His rates were very reasonable and the time frame from commission to completion was excellent.

The finished product was everything I could have wished for. Crafted with care and beautifully presented in the antique frame I provided, that he had cleaned, repaired and polished. 

Even more importantly Simon  captured the essence of both my girls and their portrait continues to bring me such pleasure on a daily basis.

Simon is a gifted artist whose skills and professionalism I am happy to recommend.”
