Genoportrait Vision SINGLE

Genoportrait is the only personal or family portrait that displays genetic uniqueness, instead of traditional characters or faces. How is that possible? It's because we make each Genoportrait based on genetic information contained in DNA. Each DNA contains several highly variable places that are unique to each person. We can read these so-called genetic markers from DNA, and in your Genoportrait you will see them as colored lines.

Genoportrait VISION allows for the combination of the colorful genetic code with your favorite photograph, which we will need to receive from you via e-mail. We want your portrait to be exactly as you dream it to be, which is why we will be there for you every step of the way –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ sending you previews of the image beforehand, adjusting the intensity of the photograph and the colorful lines, the translucence...everything precisely to your liking up until your final approval before it comes to the print.

Product includes:

–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ a DNA sampling kit in an elegant packaging

–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ graphic works

–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the Genoportrait

–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ a certificate

–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ a gift

Extracting DNA

First of all you will receive from us, via post or a messenger, a sampling kit including brushes, test tubes and a manual with detailed instructions. The DNA based on which we make your Genoportrait is extracted by yourself in the comfort of your own home with a gentle brush. You only need to wipe the gentle brush against the inner side of your cheek (so-called buccal swab), put it in the test tube and send it back to us in the attached return envelope. Then we obtain the necessary DNA from the cells caught on the brush in our laboratories.

Sending the photograph

Besides DNA we will, for the making of the Genoportrait VISION also need a photograph, which will stand in the background of the portrait. That is why, after the execution of your order, we will send you an e-mail with a request to forward us the photograph. In the time of the realization of your order we will be in contact with you and together we will create the portrait of your dreams.

Picking out colors

The Genoportrait SINGLE is monochrome and the complete color chart can be found HERE. But you do not have to rush with picking the color of the Genoportrait lines. If you are hesitating, pick the "Selection after ordering" option before adding the product to cart. Part of the elegant sampling kit is a printed color chart, from which you can pick the color of the lines later on. And if you happen to need more time to think it over, you can change your pick up until we send your Genoportrait for print.

We offer the Genoportrait in sizes from S to XXL. 

Choosing material and background

The images are printed on the finest, low-maintenance materials:

• alu-bond (light aluminum plate)
  • acrylic (glossy acrylic plate) with a small stand

  Backgrounds to choose from are black and white.

  As with choosing color of the lines, you do not need to rush to pick out the background and material of the Genoportrait. Before adding the product to cart, simply choose the option "Selection after ordering" and you can take your time deciding up until we send your Genoportrait for print.

  How to read the Genoportrait?

  You do not have to understand genetics to read the Genoportrait. That is for along with it you will receive a certificate that will provide you with all the necessary information. We know that the Genoportrait sparks interest and curiosity of those around. Thanks to the certificate you will be ready to interpret the meaning of this personal image to all the admirers.

  What happens after you order it:

  We will send you a DNA sampling kit. Don't fret –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ this is a fine brush to wipe the inside of the cheek + sampling instructions. We will also send you a color sampler. Simultaneously, we'll send you a request to send us your chosen photograph via e-mail. In the comfort of your home you will then take a DNA sample, select your Genoportrait color combination and send both back to our lab by mail. We will analyze the sample and produce your Genoportrait within 4 weeks. However, we would like to point out that the delivery time may be prolonged depending on your specific demands, the quantity of graphic adjustments etc.

  We deliver the Genoportrait ready to hang right on the wall (with a hanging mechanism on the back side), safely shipped packed in bubble wrap and a cardboard box.

   

  "The possibility to portray the DNA of a person on canvas is an excellent idea, it allows everyone to co-create, or more precisely complete the designed space with themselves. It is a portrait, which is completely true to life. It is wonderful how each person can make for such a harmonic image. Simultaneously, the possibility to capture partners or entire families in one picture seems amazing to me. It is uplifting how each and every one of us can be "painted" a grand art, create it with oneself".
