About me · My mission

Hi, I'm Aydan Lig'on – and art is my bridge to people.

I've always had this wild urge to create something. It started at the drawing meetups of the art group “Creative Session”, my creative family back then – and then on Berlin's trains: I drew strangers and simply gave them the portraits.

The smiles, the reactions, the encouragement – that's how a passion turned into a business.

“I draw from the gut – and look for the picture that fits each person exactly.”

That's why I ask about the style first – because every medium says something different about you:

Ink & finelineroften feels serious, clear and calm
Watercolourplayful, cheerful and a little chaotic
Both mixedmany-layered – strict and open at the same time
01

Why I started

Because a five-minute drawing can make two strangers laugh. For me, art has always been the fastest way to a real connection.

02

Why I keep going

To show that creative independence is possible beyond soulless office routines. I gave myself a year to do this work full-time – and I'm giving it 100 %.

03

My mission

Creating real local community and deeper human connections – through quick, expressive live art.

Art for everyone

A portrait for one euro? Yes.

“I keep my art affordable so that it's accessible to everyone. For just one euro, anyone can take a portrait by me home with them.”

My favourite place for this is outside at Mauerpark. The €1 A6 portrait is only available in person, on the spot. I post in my Instagram story when I'm out – if you want to be sure exactly where I'm drawing, take a quick look there first.
