About HiSketch Events
Who are we?
HiSketch Events is a live illustration service founded in Lisbon in 2019 by Ana Mirpuri. Ana, a young artist inspired by the vibrant lifestyle of London — where she studied and lived for five years — found in art the satisfaction of capturing spontaneous and expressive moments. She creates illustrations that highlight the best features of each person, all in a short span of time.
What do we do?
We create live illustrations for a wide range of events, engaging directly with guests and providing a truly unique experience. Often, this service serves as an excellent icebreaker and a way to energize participants. The drawings are created using watercolor, pens, and pencils, with full-body portraits that always carry an expressive and personalized touch.
How do we work?
The artist begins by interacting with the guests, inviting them to participate in the activity. Those who wish to be drawn pose for a quick photograph, which is used as a reference to create the illustration in a fast, expressive, and elegant manner. The process always emphasizes the beauty and charisma of each guest, resulting in an immediately gratifying experience that keeps guests happy and entertained throughout the event.
Where do we create?
One of the great advantages of HiSketch Events is our mobility. With our portable professional kit, we can bring our service to any location, anywhere in the world! Whether it’s on boats, trains, beaches, terraces, airplanes, and more, our live illustration service is adaptable to all kinds of settings. While our base is in Lisbon, we travel both nationally and internationally to bring our unique service to events of all kinds.
