International Silhouette Artist for your cocktail reception
60 silhouette portraits in 90 minutes. No equipment, no noise, no setup. The entertainment that transforms any cocktail — corporate or wedding — into an experience your guests will remember forever.
Corporate cocktails
The standout entertainment for your corporate cocktail reception
The cocktail hour at a corporate event is where connections are made, conversations are sealed and the impression guests take home is forged. It's also where most entertainment fails — too loud, too intrusive, or simply ignored.
I blend naturally into the cocktail flow. I stand at a strategic point and guests discover me through curiosity. In under 2 minutes, each person has their profile portrait hand-cut with scissors — a moment of genuine wonder that sparks immediate conversation among attendees.
For corporate events, portraits can carry your company branding: logo, corporate colours, personalised message. Each guest takes home a branded keepsake they'll display for years — a branding impact no photo booth or promotional gadget can match.

What sets me apart
60 portraits in 90 minutes — a speed very few live artists can match
Speed is what makes a live artist viable during a cocktail reception. A caricaturist needs 5-8 minutes per portrait. A live painter creates a single piece during the entire event. I create a complete, detailed and recognisable portrait in under 2 minutes.
This means in a typical 90-minute cocktail, I can create 60 portraits — enough for the vast majority of guests to have theirs. It's this combination of speed, artistic quality and zero equipment that lets me work in the middle of the party — no cables, no setup, and nobody has to stop talking.
Maximum flexibility
Cocktail only or continuing through dinner
I adapt completely to your event format. You can hire me exclusively for the cocktail — 60-90 minutes of concentrated entertainment where every guest receives their portrait before sitting down to dinner.
Or you can extend the performance through dinner: I move table to table, cutting portraits while guests enjoy their meal. This option is ideal for larger events where you want to ensure absolutely every guest receives their silhouette before the night ends.
The transition between cocktail and dinner is completely seamless — I don't need to dismantle anything or take breaks. Just a chair, scissors and paper.
Also for weddings
The wedding cocktail hour: the moment couples can't afford to waste
Between ceremony and reception, the couple is with the photographer and guests are waiting. It's the moment where entertainment is needed most — and where a live artist makes the biggest difference.
I keep guests fascinated while the couple takes their photos. Guests who don't know each other gather around the artist, chat about the portraits, laugh at the likeness. It's the perfect icebreaker that transforms waiting time into the most remembered moment of the celebration.
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most
About fifty. I work at thirty to thirty-five an hour, each portrait under two minutes. For a cocktail of sixty or eighty people that usually covers everyone.
Yes. Sixty to ninety minutes of cocktail is a format I do often. If you then want me to carry on through dinner, I get up and move table to table and nobody notices the change.
Something that does not make people stop talking. Cutting blends into the reception instead of interrupting it: no stage, no microphone, no moment where everyone has to look the same way. And if you want, every portrait leaves with your brand on it.
Yes. They are mounted on cards with your logo, your colours and whatever message you want. Guests take home something they will not throw away, with your name on the same piece of paper.
Mostly speed. A caricaturist needs five to eight minutes a drawing; I finish in under two. Over a ninety-minute cocktail that is around fifty portraits against twelve or fifteen. And I need no easel and no lighting.
Yes, and with a big guest list that is usually what happens. I move table to table while people eat. Nothing to dismantle and nothing to set up again, so the switch is instant. I take a short break here and there and carry on.
That is where it shows most. The wedding cocktail is the dead stretch while the couple are off with the photographer and the guests wait around. That stretch turns into the part people talk about afterwards.
