Based in Cagliari on the island of Sardinia, I attend weddings throughout Italy and Europe. Due to Sardinia’s limited transport links with mainland Italy, my travel costs may be higher than those of other Italian artists. For weddings located more than 50 km from Cagliari, a travel fee applies, calculated separately based on the destination.

I’ve seen how couples are drawn to unique, interactive ways of making their wedding day unforgettable. Through live sketching, I offer a heartfelt experience that your guests will cherish. Each sketch becomes not only a keepsake but a celebration of your love story.

Having worked at weddings across Italy and Europe, I know how important it is to create something special for your big day. I collaborate closely with each couple to ensure my services reflect their vision and enhance the atmosphere of their wedding.

How it works

The first step is to fill out the form and verify that the date of your event is available.
If you want only to know my prices, before inquire read the investment and packages section.

Once the quote is accepted, I will send you the contract to be signed.
And request a non refundable deposit.

If you need it, you can book a call or chat with me.

Upon signing the contract, a non-refundable deposit will be requested as a down payment to secure your event in our schedule and cover the travel costs. You can balance the other payment 10-7 days before your wedding.

I will arrive at the venue approximately one hour before to set up my table, and I will remain for the hours booked according to the contract. I need to make a photo of every guest that comes to my table. I will paint guests in order of arrival.

Please note that I do only speedy wedding guests paintings, limited to 1-2 people per card. My style is what you see in the photos in this page: faceless, colors and details cannot be identical to reality. My style is not realistic. This is how I paint, and I cannot change it. These are 5-10 minutes paintings, it’s impossible to have details in such less time. Basically the pose is always the same. This is to ensure to make as many portraits as possible. Don’t confuse them with my studio paintings that request days to be completed.

I don’t make other live paintings such as: livegroup paintings, live venue or scenery paintings or live bride and groom paintings.
