The artist

Lidia

Painting the present…

Lidia trained as an architect and sees herself as a modern impressionist. She paints en plein air, live, catching the light and the moment of a place.

People and architecture are her two passions. Her technique joins impressionist color with the quick line of urban sketching.

Being there. Looking closely. Making a mark.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How are the guest portraits made?

There are two ways. I can take a quick photo of each guest and paint during the event, so everyone keeps enjoying the celebration. Or guests can sit with me and watch the portrait emerge. We choose the approach that suits your event when we plan it together.

Can you travel to our event?

Yes. I welcome enquiries for events across Europe and worldwide. Travel and accommodation are part of your proposal.

Can I commission a place outside Sicily?

Yes. Sicily inspires my collections, but a commission can show a place anywhere. Clear photographs let us plan it from a distance.

How do I buy prints and postcards?

Selected designs are on my Etsy shop, and the collection is available at museum bookshops in Palermo. For any subject in the collection, another format or a larger quantity, write to me.
