Every Drawing is an Adventure
...full of adrenaline, in finding the balance, beauty, and harmony
"Life’s meaning is lost without a spirit of play. In play, all that is lovely and soaring in the human spirit strives to find expression."

Live Caricature @ Birthday Party 2019, Orsett Hall Hotel, London - Certified Review by Simon Howarth on POPTOP UK Event Booking
I Enjoy Diversity
For this reason, drawing portraits is such a joyful experience! It makes me aware of the 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.
Poptop’s Best of 2019
After a relatively short appearance on the Poptop platform, Silu Cartoon won "Poptop’s Best of 2019". I'm proud to have my art listed on Poptop, a platform that understands to respect artists, their identity and work!
Reviews
I'm very proud to get the highest rating from my clients. My style of drawing makes my art very popular and attractive at the events where I'm invited as I always have people waiting for a caricature. I'm pleased and humbled to see my art brings moments of joy and positive energy to people's lives.

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."

Life In Eltham with Gaynor Wingham
"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!"
