Lauren Bergman has created a series of small portraits available for direct sale through this website. These minutely and painstakingly detailed paintings have been done on copper panels, a surface popular in the Renaissance because of copper’s durability and luminosity. Bergman has developed a unique technique of creating patterns of patina that are then sealed for permanence. Each work transforms historical photographs into intimate memorials. The warm glow of the copper beneath the paint seems to emanate from within, as if capturing the eternal light of each subject’s spirit.

By welcoming one of these paintings into your collection, you become a guardian of memory. You ensure that these souls are not forgotten statistics, but cherished individuals whose stories continue to speak across generations. These works are about bearing witness, honoring resilience, and making an unwavering commitment that such darkness will never return. In your home, these portraits become powerful reminders of our shared humanity. They are testaments to the enduring power of remembrance, and to the belief that every life deserves to be seen, honored, and never forgotten.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
