Artist in house at the Coq D’Argent

I was recently hired for an exciting live painting experience: capturing the stunning London cityscape from the rooftop garden of Coq d’Argent during their exclusive Secret Saturday Brunch Party. The scene was nothing short of breath-taking—a panoramic view of London’s iconic skyline, set against the vibrant energy of a private brunch. Painting live, surrounded by the hum of music and lively conversation, brought a unique thrill and energy to the canvas. It was a rare opportunity to translate the city’s dynamic atmosphere and shifting light in real time, creating an artwork as vivid and lively as the scene itself. A truly unforgettable day spent blending art, atmosphere, and London’s unparalleled skyline.
