About the Artist:
Ariel Quiroz's early works specialized in realistic portrait drawings and paintings, when he moved to Maui his artwork evolved integrating the figure of his Hula Dancers and Lovers to the Hawaiian Landscapes.
The Alla Prima Technique, Plein Air Paintings, and Ariel’s travels have witnessed different landscapes, cultures, and people. This has inspired and influenced his style, images, and colors.
For Ariel “Art is Related to Love”. When he talks about his wife and moving to Maui he said: “There’s a Love relationship between Art and Beauty. We are born with the necessary Intuition to be attracted to what is Good for us because our basic instincts tell us that it's Beautiful. I want to use this same Intuitive Sense and Inspiration to bring Love, Beauty, and Joy to People through Art.”

How a Chilean Artist moved to Brazil and ended up in Hawaii because of Love.
Born and raised in Chile in 1981, where he was best known for his Portrait Drawings and Paintings. Since 1995 he participated in competitions, exhibitions, and artistic projects including Art Exhibitions, Photography, Installation, Performance, Theater, Short Films, and Teaching.
In 1995 Ariel promised himself to pursue Art as a career at age 13 when he applied to study Fine Arts at the L.E.A., an exclusive and prestigious Art School for talented children where he received in 1999 a diploma in Visual Art Techniques specializing in painting and graphic arts, the same year he also received the highest honor with an Award of Outstanding Participation in the specialty of Painting.
In 2006 he received his first Magna Cum Laude degree graduating in Visual Art from UPLA University, ln 2010 he received two more bachelor’s degrees both Cum Laude, one in Education and the other in High School Art Teaching from U.N.A.B. University.
In 2011 Ariel ventured to Florianopolis in Brazil, and later to Rio de Janeiro, where he fell in love with another foreigner originally from California. In 2012, still wanting to share his art, explore, and be closer to his loved muse who lived in Hawaii, he voyaged to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where he joined Cultural Projects and Galleries.
Ariel agreed to move to Maui because his loved one was homesick, he has been living in Maui since December 2013, he married his muse Vanessa in 2015 and now they live together in Lahaina.
Ariel’s past travels have seen different landscapes, cultures, and people that have inspired and influenced his identity, images, and colors. His experience as a teacher, art consultant, and artist demonstrated to him that “Art is always related to Love”.
“There’s a Love relationship between Art and Beauty. We are born with the necessary Intuition to be attracted to what is Good for us because our basic instincts tell us that it's Beautiful. The night in Rio de Janeiro when I met my wife, I was lost in the intense feelings of True Beauty and Natural Attraction, beyond what is psychological or physical, it was spiritual. After 10 years, she still proves to me that my intuition was right, and I love her more and more. I am grateful and I want to use this same Intuitive Sense and Inspiration to bring Love, Beauty, and Joy to People through Art.”

Maui Wedding Art:
Capturing Love Through Art
Personalized Art Celebrating Love and Connection
At Maui Wedding Art, my mission is to create personalized art that celebrates love and connection. Through live wedding paintings, I capture the joy, spirit, and beauty of your special day, preserving these moments in a way that uniquely reflects their emotional depth and significance. Each painting tells a story, not just capturing a moment in time, but embodying the essence of love that binds people together. These paintings are more than just images; they are lasting memories that encapsulate the genuine love and happiness shared between you and your loved ones. Every brushstroke is infused with heartfelt emotion, and each detail is carefully rendered to bring your memories to life with authenticity and care.
Artistic Services Beyond Live Wedding Painting
In addition to live wedding paintings, I offer other artistic services, such as custom portraits, caricatures, and live guest portraits, each crafted with care to honor the individuality of my clients. Whether it's a beautifully detailed portrait that captures the grace and character of the subject or a fun, lighthearted caricature that brings smiles and laughter, I approach each piece with dedication, passion, and attention to detail. I believe that every person has a unique story, and my role as an artist is to ensure that the final artwork truly represents the subject's personality, spirit, and essence. My custom portraits are more than just representations; they are heartfelt tributes that honor who you are, while my caricatures capture the joy and playfulness of the moment, adding a unique layer of entertainment and memory-making to your event.
Embracing the Cultural Richness of Hawaii
I strive to cultivate a love for art that honors each couple's unique story while embracing the cultural richness of Hawaii. The breathtaking landscapes, vibrant traditions, and deep sense of aloha all influence my creative process. I draw inspiration from the island's natural beauty, from the brilliant sunsets that paint the sky to the lush greenery that surrounds us. This connection to the land and culture helps me infuse each piece with a sense of place, creating art that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. My artwork seeks to reflect not only the love of a couple but also the spirit of the island where their memories are being created, blending the essence of Hawaii with the powerful emotions of their special day.
Uplifting and Preserving the Essence of Love
My goal is to uplift, inspire, and preserve the essence of love through my artwork, which I believe has the power to connect people and celebrate life's most precious moments. Art has an incredible way of transcending time, evoking emotions that resonate long after the moment has passed. My paintings are meant to be more than decorative pieces; they are intended to be emotional touchstones that bring back the feelings, smiles, and beauty of a cherished day. Each piece is a heartfelt endeavor to ensure that love's most meaningful moments are never forgotten but remembered in vivid, artistic detail that touches both the heart and soul.
Commitment to Quality and Exceptional Client Experience
I am committed to delivering quality artistic work and providing an exceptional experience for each client, ensuring that the journey of creating your art is as memorable as the final piece itself. I aim to make every interaction personal and enjoyable, from our initial consultation to the day I hand over the finished piece. I value the trust my clients place in me to capture their most significant moments, and I honor that trust by pouring my passion and dedication into every stage of the process. Creating a live wedding painting is not just about the final artwork; it’s about building a connection, sharing an experience, and celebrating the emotions that make your day unique. I strive to make this experience something that you and your guests will remember fondly, adding an artistic layer of joy and connection to your celebration.
Timeless Reminders of Beauty and Love
I create artwork that visually delights, emotionally moves, and spiritually resonates for years to come, offering you a timeless reminder of the beauty and love in your life. Each piece becomes part of your story, a cherished keepsake that speaks to the moments and memories that define your journey together. Whether displayed in your home or shared with future generations, my art is designed to serve as a constant reminder of the love, beauty, and happiness that shape our lives. It is my privilege to be a part of these special moments, transforming them into enduring works of art that continue to inspire and uplift for years to come.
