Full Biography
Ivo the Caricaturist brings a charismatic sense of humour, quick sketching skills, and a lively presence that instantly lifts the atmosphere at any event. His sharp eye and brilliant artistry make him an ideal choice for entertaining guests with hilarious yet flattering caricatures.
With a master’s degree (MA) from the Academy of Fine Arts, Ivo has worked as a professional artist and caricaturist for more than 18 years, covering corporate functions, private commissions, weddings, parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, balls, dinners, exhibitions, promotions, charity events, special occasions, and more.
Working “on the spot” — standing, sitting, or mingling with guests — he produces 12–15 caricatures per hour on A4 or A3 paper. His drawings are wickedly funny but always flattering, and he’s frequently praised for both the quality of his artwork and his ability to energise a room with his artistic humour. He can draw individuals or groups, in black and white or colour.
Previous clients include the House of Commons, House of Lords, Royal Barracks, RAF, Ferrari, Barclays, ITV, Sky 1, members of the Royal Families of Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, Medway Police, Hamptons International, New Star Asset Management, Thames Cruises, Emap, Hazlewoods LLP, The Open University, Barking College, and many more.
“Dear Ivo, I just wanted to write you a quick note to say a huge thank you for all your hard work last night. All my family and friends were impressed and delighted with their caricatures. You are clearly very talented at what you do and will be highly recommended to all. Many thanks for helping make our event a success ... better than hiring a magician!” - Janet Cohen

“We booked Ivo to draw guests at our wedding when they arrived before the ceremony and during the drinks reception. He was fab, everyone said how great he was and there was so much detail in his drawings. He didn't need to be right in people's faces to draw them and made sure he captured everyone on the day. Just perfect, thanks Ivo!”
