Earlier this year, I had the wonderful opportunity to be part of a special event at Brunello Cucinelli's Yorkville location. As part of their customer appreciation event, I created live watercolor portraits for their guests—personalized keepsakes to mark the occasion.
The process was designed to be effortless for the guests. I took quick photo references, which meant they could relax, browse the store, and enjoy their time while I worked on their portraits. Each illustration took about 10-15 minutes, and it was amazing to see their reactions when they received their artwork.
The atmosphere at the event was warm and welcoming, with art and fashion blending beautifully to create something memorable. It’s always rewarding to connect with people through live art and to see how something as simple as a portrait can bring so much joy.
Being part of events like this is a highlight of my work—it’s all about creating moments that guests will cherish long after the event ends.
The event went incredibly well, with so much positive feedback that I was booked for another Brunello Cucinelli event—this time at the iconic Mall of America in Minneapolis! It was my first time visiting Minnesota, and traveling to the States for my art was a truly exciting experience.
