Testimonials

“Roland Trandafir has a particular gift for connecting with people. His many portrait commissions bare testimony to the rapport he establishes with his clients and his willingness to address all of their concerns. Trandafir works easily in portraiture – an area that traditionally is fraught with difficulties. He is thorough in his attention to detail and consistently captures the essence of the sitter. It has been rewarding on all levels to work with a true professional”.

Sam Davidson, Davidson Galleries, Seattle

“I provided the funds to construct the James B. Douglas Forum at the University of Washington School of Business. The plans called for a portrait. Several art dealers were contacted. One of the many artists interviewed was Roland Trandafir. Impressed with his enthusiasm, I was convinced that he would give the project the full extent of his ability – I was right. Those considering Mr. Trandafir for a portrait commission should see this outstanding work. I put my faith in an artist with great ability. My faith was justified.”

-James B. Douglas

I saw Trandafir’s painting and it became an integral part of my collection. I encouraged Roland to pursue his art because I knew this man was born to be a great artist. As I saw his career develop, that thought became a certainty in my mind.”

I have been collecting Trandafir’s paintings since 1994. His ability to bring a canvas to life is most incredible. Roland has an amazing talent for capturing a moment in time, in all its detail. Each new piece is a treasure for the soul”.
