Live Painting with Maya

Live painting events are created based on specific requests, here is how it works:
Before the event, we agree on a personalized artwork concept that reflects the theme or the guest(s) of honor. During the event, I create the painting live, using black ink, brushes, sponges, sprays, and other unusual ink techniques, so guests can enjoy the process as a visual performance. The result is a unique and memorable piece, and, best of all, the main guest gets to keep the original artwork!
Key details:
– Flexible timing: Each artwork can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on the level of detail
– Setup: I bring my own portable easel and ink materials, and I always protect the area with a cover (the ink is also easily washable with water)
– Versatile formats: From portraits to landscapes to fully custom visuals
– Optional extras:
– I can photograph the finished canvas and instantly print small copies for the guests
– Live painting can be done in color with watercolors or acrylics, or created digitally and projected live (copies can be sent as PDF or/and printed on-site)
If you have a fun idea like painting with wine, coffee, glitter, makeup, or anything else, I would be happy to make it happen!
