✨ Closing dinner of the Geneva Sartorial Club — the perfect occasion to pay tribute to my fellow members through live portraits.

With the black-tie dress code setting the tone, I created 12 small sketches throughout the evening. Each one in 8–10 minutes, each one capturing a unique style. Almost like a speed-dating session, but through ink and paper: members came one by one to sit for a portrait, turning the dinner into a game of art and connection.

What struck me most were the looks — eclectic, extravagant, refined — every member expressing individuality in their own way. That’s the beauty of the Sartorial Club: our uniqueness unites us.

Thank you to all who posed — it was an honour and a real pleasure. ✍️💙

✨ A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining The Showroom 2025 at the Four Seasons Geneva, invited by Stephanie Kelly-Ortiz and @elevatedliving_official.

As the official Sketch Artist partner of the event, I created live portraits with my fountain pens, blue ink and touches of 24k gold leaf — a unique encounter where art meets luxury.

The greatest reward for me remains the same: seeing a genuine smile, sharing a few sincere words, and leaving each guest with a piece of art that carries this memory.

Thank you @stephaniekellyortiz and Elevated Living for the trust, and Roel @paffen_photography for capturing these moments.

When art meets elegance — and something timeless is born.
A live portrait session at Sartoro Genève, drawn in flowing blue ink and brushed with 24k gold. ✨

In the heart of the boutique, surrounded by diamonds and grace, I had the honor of capturing @bellazofia.official — not just her beauty, but her presence, her energy, her poise.

Every line tells a story.

CIGARS & NETWORKING – Luxury Event

Invited by @mrs.hila770, I had the pleasure of exhibiting three large-scale portraits during an evening dedicated to cigars and elegance.

Each piece was drawn live from life in one session per artwork — three sessions in total — using blue fountain pen ink and a custom Montblanc Meisterstück nib handmade in Hamburg to meet my needs for large-scale drawing.

The portraits are enriched with 24k gold leaf from @giustomanettibattiloro, echoing the jewelry worn by the muse in each scene.

The model and poet behind the three artworks is @jadagape, who also dictated the handwritten poems featured in the background of each piece.

It was also the first public reveal of a new look resulting from an ongoing relooking by @marisol_image, who helped define a new color palette and aesthetic direction for my work.

A special thanks to @maisonm.geneve for their help with the logistics, framing and golden easels — a perfect match for the gold leaf accents in the portraits.

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and inspiring conversations.

An intimate evening at @pomellato, Geneva.
Live portraits in blue ink and rose gold leaf, created in the heart of the boutique — surrounded by elegance, sound, and sparkle.

Guests chose their favorite Pomellato pieces — rings, earrings, necklaces. Fifteen minutes to capture a signature moment — a quiet reflection of wearer and jewel.

Thank you to @nboghossianconsulting Agency and everyone who made this moment so refined, so warm.

What an unforgettable evening! Captured beautifully by @iamdanlopezphoto, the highlight of the vernissage was the live unveiling of “Leto” – the 13th work in my Golden Ropes series. In that moment, as the golden leaves revealed their full splendor, time seemed to stand still—a truly privileged experience filled with empowerment and grace. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who shared in this magical moment, and I look forward to creating many more inspiring experiences.

✨ Golden Ropes ✨

Un immense merci à @maisonm.geneve pour avoir accueilli mon exposition dans ce cadre raffiné et chaleureux. Cette collection met en lumière mes œuvres réalisées à l’encre bleue et sublimées par de l’or 24 carats.

Lors du vernissage, j’ai eu le plaisir de réaliser une performance live en finalisant une 13ᵉ œuvre inédite sous les yeux des invités. Un moment intense et chargé d’émotion, rendant cette soirée encore plus spéciale.

Bonne nouvelle : vous pouvez encore découvrir ces pièces uniques chez Maison M du 5 février au 5 mars !

Merci à toutes les personnes présentes pour cette soirée mémorable, ainsi qu'à @angelinabertrand_colorful pour ces magnifiques photos qui capturent parfaitement l’atmosphère du vernissage.

I had the honor of being invited as a portrait artist to capture the elegance of 8 special guests during this extraordinary Ritz afternoon tea. Portrait: @kislukasss

Using blue ink @montblanc and golden leaves, I aimed to reflect the timeless charm and sophistication of the attendees, all dressed impeccably in the evening’s thematic dress code: Tweed—a nod to the iconic Scottish textile.

It was a truly magical event filled with wonderful conversations, a sumptuous Tea Time, and the enchanting spirit of the season in the most refined setting.

Thank you, @a.chic.state.of.mind , for the kind invitation, @ritzcarltongeneva for hosting this memorable soirée, and @isamarchabot for the beautiful photography that captured these cherished moments.
