Every Drawing is an Adventure...
...full of adrenaline, in finding the balance, beauty and harmony.
I Enjoy Diversity
For this reason, drawing portraits is such a joyful experience! It makes me aware of beauty in the world and I choose to reveal it my way. Diversity is beautiful. Diversity is about how nature expresses its freedom. Be aware - these are not simple caricatures. My drawings contain emotions. Learn more about my artistic philosophy on THE ARTIST and LIVE CARICATURE (Why My Portraits Stand Out / Motivation) pages.

My style of drawing makes me very popular and attractive at the events where I'm invited, often I'm the last entertainer who leaves the place as I always have people waiting for a drawing. Thank you all for appreciation regarding my work!

When you doing art, you open your senses and you become very sensitive and vulnerable to any external factors. For this reason, doing your art in a studio is good as you are protected and you can focus all your energy in the right direction. Drawing exposed in a crowded public place means ignoring: the wind, the sun, the cold, the noise, your insecurities (you have no idea what's happening around, you can only see your model and your paper sometimes for hours when you are very busy) and doing it anyway. I look back pleased and humbled for assuming this exercise for a while, of going thru things who had the potential to make you feel uncomfortable during the artistic process.
Quick Cute Portraits for Your Event
*Probably the cutest portraits in London*
*Probably the cutest portraits in London*
Add a live art experience to your event which you and your guests will remember - Corporate Events, Weddings, Private Parties, Trade Shows, Conferences, Fundraising Events, in London and around.
When you book please keep in mind live caricature is a performance, so, there is no need for everybody to be drawn. Usually, not all the guest want a drawing. Some of your guests will enjoy watching. Two hours minimum per event is recommended. The live caricature is a natural process and the maximum speed is acquired after the first few drawings. Depending on the complexity, the quickest drawings can take less than 3! minutes. The average is 10 drawings/hour. The number of drawings per hour is related to the size of the gaps between drawings (usually, I'm very busy so the gaps are minimum) and to the complexity of the models. Travel charges may apply for outside London events.
2 hours - £240
3 hours - £300
4 hours - £360
5 hours - £400

Unlike classical caricature, my portraits reveal a pleasant appearance, not the ugliness and grotesque. The constant feedback I receive is: "I'm more beautiful in your drawing than in reality." Find full booking details and more about why my portraits stand out on Live Caricature page.

Thank you to the family who sent me this material!
"Recognise any of this lot? Eltham Library is hosting a display of cartoons and caricatures by local Eltham artist Silu, who is originally from Romania. Silu (pictured below, with Miriam Storey of Eltham Library), does caricatures - like this one of our Eltham Arts committee - for events, so ask him to come along. It's unique. He'll even do a caricature of your pet if you send him a photo!"
