Abstract Face Portraits

LOS ANGELES FASHION ILLUSTRATOR

Live Event Sketching:

Cristina’s minimal, line-only ABSTRACT FACE PORTRAITS artistic approach is rooted in her architectural graphic training, utilizing fluid, ink line techniques to translate spatial concepts into drawing. Sketched with ink felt tip pens, her portraits translate the structure of the facial features into only the most essential, minimalist organic forms. A study in visual reduction, these portraits rely on a strict economy of pen strokes to distill human expression to its purest form of minimalist contours.

Cristina captures each face in just a few minutes per person with stylized pen strokes, creating a dynamic, engaging experience at events for luxury brands, such as Balenciaga on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and Balenciaga at luxury mall South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. The magic of watching a portrait appear on the blank paper with a few simple lines is mesmerizing to watch, creating an elevated immersive mood for the guests.

Live Event Sketching services are available throughout Southern California, in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Orange County, Costa Mesa, San Diego, Ventura County, as well as Las Vegas and for worldwide events.

HOW IT WORKS

WHAT IS ABSTRACT FACE PORTRAIT LIVE EVENT SKETCHING ?

Live Event Sketching: at a live event, Cristina photographs your guests for reference, then sketches their ABSTRACT FACE PORTRAITS from the photos while they enjoy the party. Portraits are rendered with a neutral, relaxed expression to capture a dramatic, moody aesthetic, rather than a smile. Cristina captures the essence of a guest’s face and likeness of the subject through essential gesture rather than exhaustive detail, in just a few minutes, using a felt tip pen.

WHAT IS THE GUEST EXPERIENCE?

Guests are invited to immerse themselves in a live performance art activation featuring Cristina’s fashion ABSTRACT FACE PORTRAITS. Attendees receive a bespoke, hand-drawn portrait, a custom keepsake designed to commemorate the occasion for years to come. Delight your guests with an interactive artistic experience, as Cristina delivers bespoke fashion portraits crafted on-site, providing a sophisticated and memorable takeaway.

HOW MANY SKETCHES CAN BE COMPLETED?

MINIMAL ABSTRACT FACE PORTRAITS take approximately 5-10 minutes per each single face. In one hour, Cristina can sketch approx. 6-8 single faces on size 6×9 paper. For events with a large number of guests, visit the Post-Event Add-Ons page for additional sketches options.
