Portrait Artist in New York: Custom Portraits and Live Portraits for Luxury Events

Finding a portrait artist in New York means choosing much more than just an artist. A portrait is a one-of-a-kind work of art that captures a personality, an emotion, and a precious moment. Whether it’s a commissioned portrait or live portrait painting at a prestigious event, hiring a professional portrait artist ensures an elegant and unforgettable experience.

A French portrait artist based in New York

As a French portrait artist, I divide my time between France and New York. These two worlds fuel my inspiration and influence my style, blending French elegance with the creative energy of Manhattan. Today, my company is based in New York, in the heart of Manhattan, just steps away from Madison Avenue, one of the most iconic destinations for luxury, fashion, and design.

This location allows me to be right in the heart of the most prestigious events held in the city’s luxury boutiques, hotels, private clubs, and exceptional venues. In New York, my main clients include Chanel, Buccellati, and several event agencies specializing in organizing high-end experiences for top brands.

Custom Art Portraits

A portrait is a work of art that stands the test of time. Created from photographs or a dedicated photo session, each portrait is fully customized to reflect the subject’s personality, emotions, and elegance.

Commissioned portraits are particularly popular for:

family portraits;
portraits of couples;
portraits of children;
animal portraits;
birthday or celebration gifts;
works intended for private homes or offices.

Each piece is crafted with special attention to facial expressions, likeness, and details.

Live Portraits for Events in New York

Live portrait painting has become one of the most sought-after artistic activities among luxury brands and New York City companies. During the event, I create a portrait of each guest on an iPad in just a few minutes. Each illustration is then printed immediately on high-quality art paper, allowing guests to leave with a truly personalized work of art.

This activity is ideal for:

luxury fashion events;
product launches;
VIP events;
In-store events;
the galas;
private clubs;
corporate events;
fashion shows and events.

At the heart of Manhattan’s event scene

Today, the Upper East Side has regained its place among the most sought-after neighborhoods for private events and prestigious receptions. With Madison Avenue, luxury boutiques, iconic hotels, and private clubs, this neighborhood has once again become a must-visit destination for international brands.

Based just a few minutes from Madison Avenue, I’m here to support luxury brands, event agencies, and companies with their most exclusive events. Each portrait becomes a sophisticated keepsake that guests take home with them and cherish long after the evening is over.
