Live Event Sketching:
BAG PORTRAITS
Cristina’s minimal, abstract BAG PORTRAITS elevate in-store shopping and bring the magic of watercolor to live events. Using delicate brushstrokes, she transforms each bag into a frameable work of art. As she captures the spirit of a bag on paper, the portrait turns into a cherished, timeless keepsake of a special moment.
This is an unforgettable live art experience where watercolor paint comes alive as a stunning handbag. Be it an evening clutch, an everyday tote, or a flirtatious minaudière, witness the magic unfold as blank paper transforms into textured fashion art that leaves everyone spellbound.
