Zhenya is a London-based visual artist.

Transforming live events into stylish art, her journey began in 2019 as a live event portrait artist.

She later evolved into a versatile creator of paintings, drawings, and sculptures. After graduating with a Fine Arts degree from Goldsmiths University of London, she merged her passion for portraiture, contemporary art, and human interaction to create Strike a Portrait – a unique Live Event Art Experience.

At events, Zhenya crafts speed portraits of guests, providing them with instant, personalised artwork as a memorable souvenir. This experience not only offers stunning art but also creates a deeper connection between the artist and the guest. Whether with pencils or digital media, Zhenya’s portraits capture the individuality and character of each person with expressive, elegant brush strokes. The portraits can be done in black and white or colour, and the artist interacts with guests, making the moment special and unforgettable.

For larger events, portraits can be created from photographs taken at the start, with the finished artwork ready for collection by the end of the event. This dynamic and engaging experience has been highly sought after at prestigious venues in London and internationally, with notable clients such as Netflix UK, YouTube, Fora Space, and Chiswick Business Park.

In addition to speed portraiture, Zhenya also offers bespoke wedding paintings, making her the perfect choice for clients seeking unique and personal event art.
