About Maui Caricature
Aloha and welcome to Maui Caricature! I'm Ariel Quiroz, a Maui-based caricature artist with over 20 years of experience bringing joy and laughter to events through live caricature drawings and commissioned pieces. Whether you're looking to add a special touch to your wedding, corporate event, or personal celebration, my goal is to create unforgettable keepsakes that capture the essence of the moment.
My Story
Art has been my passion since childhood. From drawing on the walls in my hometown of Santiago, Chile, to honing my skills as a professional artist, I’ve always believed in the power of creativity to bring people together. I started my career working on street portraits, and over the years, I expanded my craft to caricature art, where I could combine my love for humor, expression, and personalization.
After years of travel and refining my craft in different countries, I found my way to the beautiful island of Maui. The island’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and aloha spirit have deeply influenced my work. Today, I’m proud to offer my services to clients across Hawaii and beyond, bringing a bit of island magic to every caricature I create.
What I Do
At Maui Caricature, I specialize in creating live caricature drawings for events and personalized caricature commissions. My services include:
-
Live Caricatures: Perfect for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, and more, I bring fun and entertainment to your guests by drawing live caricatures on the spot. From "Turbo" caricatures to more detailed "VIP" portraits, each sketch is a unique keepsake that will keep your guests smiling.
-
Commissioned Caricatures: Looking for a personalized gift? I create custom caricatures from photos, whether it's for a birthday, anniversary, or just for fun. Each commissioned piece is thoughtfully crafted to highlight personality and charm.
I offer different styles to suit your preferences, from traditional hand-drawn caricatures to digital versions. My mission is to create caricatures that are not only fun but also memorable pieces of art.
Why Choose Maui Caricature?
Choosing Maui Caricature means adding a fun, lighthearted, and artistic touch to your event or gift. My style focuses on capturing the joy and uniqueness of each subject through charming "bubble head" caricatures, where the heads are playfully exaggerated, but the expressions and details remain accurate and endearing. This approach creates a balance of humor and personality that’s always delightful, without pushing boundaries or offending anyone.
Expressive and Approachable Art My caricatures bring out the best in each person, with:
-
Oversized, adorable heads: The subject's head is exaggerated for a cute, fun effect, while the body is drawn in a simplified, cartoonish style.
-
Accurate facial features: Despite the playful proportions, I pay close attention to capturing each person’s unique look and personality.
-
Lively, dynamic lines: Every caricature is drawn with energy and spontaneity, making the artwork feel alive and memorable.
-
Event-friendly appeal: My style is perfect for weddings, corporate events, and family-friendly gatherings, where the goal is to bring smiles and create lasting memories.
Whether I'm drawing live at your event or working on a commissioned piece, my goal is to provide a keepsake that’s filled with personality, creativity, and charm. With years of experience and a deep passion for art, I ensure that every caricature reflects my dedication to fun, detail, and craftsmanship.
