Caricature artist Ekaterina Grigorieva

A familiar situation: the program is running its course, and between segments guests are scrolling through their phones and glancing at their watches. Someone at that very moment is probably wondering how to keep people occupied in the lobby while they wait for the start. A live artist in the corner of the venue solves this without a stage and without a microphone.

Ekaterina Grigorieva is an illustrator and artist who works right at the event: she draws guests at a corporate event, presentation, or anniversary. The technique depends on the task — pencil and graphite, markers, colored pencils, watercolor. A5 format, five to seven sketches per hour. In addition to fashion sketches, Ekaterina does caricatures and portraits, including from photographs.

The guest takes the finished drawing with them. For the company, this is a double benefit: entertainment within the program and a small gift that won't end up in the trash the next morning. Ekaterina works in several styles and adapts her manner to the event — one for a formal presentation, another for a fun evening.

Works in Moscow. Formats — corporate event, company anniversary, presentation, New Year's evening. Leave your number — we'll check an available date and quote the fee.
