With bold, clean lines, my drawings capture the emotion and energy of each moment—making live caricatures a popular highlight at events.

Inspired by London's Multiculturalism – About the Artist
Silu is a British artist of EU origin with a background in architecture and design. More than 12 years ago, he discovered London's incredible diversity, and a few years later, he began creating caricatures.
As his work grew in popularity, he became a full-time caricaturist, entertaining guests at weddings, corporate events, parties and special occasions across London and beyond.
Unlike traditional caricatures that can exaggerate features into a grotesque or unflattering appearance, my caricatures aim to create a flattering and enjoyable portrait while still capturing each person's unique character. One of the most common compliments I receive is: “I'm more beautiful in your drawing than in reality.”

Drawn on iPad - indoors only
My digital colour caricatures are drawn on an iPad and sent directly to your guests’ phones. Each portrait is also printed on photographic paper on the spot and presented to your guests in a transparent protective sleeve.
With an average drawing time of around 8 minutes, I can produce approximately 6 colour portraits per hour. Up to 2 additional minutes per portrait may be needed for on-the-spot printing, file transfers and guest transitions. Please note that these figures are indicative, as every event is an artistic process and drawing times can vary.
Requirements: Two chairs and a table for the printer and drawing equipment, with easy access to a power socket. Wi-Fi must be available at the event venue to transfer drawings to guests’ phones by email. AirDrop also works very well for Apple devices.
