Maria Paola Tintis is a fine art wedding painter and illustrator based in Sardinia, creating heirlooms for destination weddings across Italy, Europe and worldwide.

Her signature style blends delicate watercolour washes with effortless fashion-illustration lines. On the day, her live guest sketching produces quick, stylish portraits for guests to take home, and her swift brushwork naturally brings people together during cocktail hour or between courses. She also paints live wedding scenes, capturing a key moment from the vows to the first dance on fine art canvas or heavy paper. Her studio commissions from photographs cover everything from individual portraits to bridal party keepsakes and anniversary gifts.

We love Maria Paola for couples who want keepsakes as personal as the celebration itself, and a touch of live art to delight their guests.

Good to know: Studio wedding favours are sets of hand-drawn guest portraits for 25 to 200+ guests, made in her atelier before or after the wedding and shipped internationally. They work beautifully as table favours or as part of a personalised seating chart.
