“With an extensive experience in the field of fine art portraiture and live event drawing, Strike a Portrait is dedicated to providing a perfect balance between quality and quantity of portraits that guests receive at the end of the event. Achieving a great likeness by capturing the character of the sitter while learning about them, is in the core of my practice. As the world is moving rapidly towards over digitalisation, I strongly believe that exactly these invaluable moments of human connection, bonded by art, are what give life its taste, making it exciting and memorable.”
