Lazaros was an absolute pleasure to work with! I was a bit of a tricky client—unsure of exactly what I wanted but full of opinions! 😊 He was incredibly patient and thoughtful throughout the process, carefully developing artwork that suited our space. The final piece is perfect, and it makes me smile every time I walk past it. Thank you, Lazaros!

Reviews:

Libby created the most beautiful, alpine mural scene for our children's bedroom (see photo attached. I have blurred my kids face, if you're wondering why the face area looks like that!) The quality of the paint, design and artwork is so impressive and it really shines through how much love, care and talent Libby has for her work and clients. Working with Libby was a total joy. We loved the mock-ups she shared of the design; she just totally got the brief from the get-go. With communicating, she was really responsive, made us feel very comfortable with bouncing off ideas and tailoring the piece throughout the design process to ensure the finished piece was just perfect for us. I have already recommended Libby to friends and family, for bespoke work they'd like completing. Thank you so much Libby. You've transformed the space into the most special room for our kids and we are over the moon with the mural.

Olivier did a fantastic job of bringing the characters in our branding to life for our studio. Working with him was collaborative and the end result is amazing - our own design work as a start point but with his unique creative interpretation. I would definitely recommend Olivier to anyone else looking for a creative partner

Pick me for:

My favourite jobs are large expressive murals of portraits or bodies, as I am a figurative painter at heart. However I am able to paint most styles whether that be typographic, abstract, landscape, and have completed works in all of the above categories. I also love taking on portrait commissions and helping a client to create a meaningful artwork.

Reviews:

Sam was excellent - he did loads of due diligence ahead of time on types of paint etc. because of a tricky brief, and was super flexible and great to work with on the days he did the painting. The art looked great - definitely a perfectionist. Thanks very much, Sam.
