Colorful Portrait Painting as Video Beamer Public Viewing
«Colorful Watercolour-Portrait Paintings» are Agnes’s trademark. The international Swiss artist, who grew up in Armenia, draws people respectfully and positively and never exposes anyone.
Agnes’s watercolor portrait painting is projected live onto a canvas or a large screen. This discreet, silent form of entertainment is an absolute highlight and is also worthwhile for smaller groups. The portrait drawings focus on the guests and bring people into conversation with each other. Even if not everyone can be drawn, everyone enjoys watching the creation process.
The drawing paper can be pre-printed or stickered with a hand-painted logo. The Live Caricaturist can also photograph guests directly on site, if desired, to draw them during dinner or in their absence. Compared to digital computer graphics, a hand-painted original has an exclusive value, which becomes tangible through the natural color gradients. Upon request, the Live Caricaturist can digitize the drawings directly on site with a scanner.
The academically trained professional illustrator also draws for team events, teambuilding, and accompanies corporate strategy days with great passion and creativity as part of a «Visual Protocol». In her studio in her beautiful adopted home of Lucerne, she creates emotional portrait paintings, family portraits, or customized paintings as a unique birthday gift idea from a photo.
20 Years as a Live Caricaturist in Switzerland
Agnes was born on April 1, 1980, in Yerevan, Armenia, then still part of the Soviet Union. From childhood, she received extensive academic training in Fine Arts at renowned institutions. Agnes received her first artistic award in 1996. From 2001, she worked as a political caricaturist against corruption for newspapers in Armenia. In 2002, Agnes was invited as a winner to the Cartoon Festival in Dubai. In 2003, the President of Lebanon presented her with an honorary medal in recognition of her talent. Agnes was a regular guest in the media.
In 2006, Agnes moved to Switzerland and has been working as a Live Caricaturist, portrait painter, and illustrator for 20 years, also with her own productions.

Paintings by artist Agnes
Agnes’s training in the classical, Eastern European school of painting, with a focus on anatomy, color theory, composition, and mastering demanding techniques such as watercolor and oil painting, enables her to work precisely on location with fluid watercolors and real brushes, a technique that does not allow for forgiving digital corrections.

Deliberately Imperfect: Agnes's Websites Have a Soul.
In her portrait painting and customer interactions, Agnes strives for perfection. However, for her online presence, she consciously chooses a different path, embracing her self-defined concept of «Wabi Sabi Webdesign» in the spirit of her beloved Impressionism: In times of interchangeable AI art and polished corporate perfection, the artist sets a deliberate counterpoint. Agnes’s drawings are genuine, human craftsmanship, created with heart, hand, and mind. Her «imperfect» websites are designed according to this principle of digital Impressionism. They are playful, approachable, natural, and disregard sterile business layouts. Because we are human.
