Hi, I’m Flladi Kulla — a fine artist with over 20 years of experience in portraiture.

Painting has always been my first love. Photography came later and served its purpose for a while, but I’ve always returned to the canvas. There’s something about paint that allows me to capture not just how people look, but who they are and what they’re feeling.

Weddings, in particular, bring out a kind of energy and emotion that’s hard to describe — but deeply meaningful to paint. That’s what I try to preserve. I paint live at your wedding, during the actual event, and then finish your piece in the studio with all the care and detail it deserves.

I live in Connecticut, but I’m just a short drive from New York City — and I’m happy to travel wherever your celebration takes place. Whether your wedding is big or small, traditional or unexpected, I’d be honored to paint it.

A Bit of Background

• 20+ years of experience in classical portraiture

• Trained in traditional fine art — painting is my foundation

• Photography became a part of my journey, but painting is where I’ve stayed

• Based in Connecticut, just outside NYC — available nationwide and beyond

What You Can Expect

• A calm, professional presence at your wedding

• 6–10 hours of live painting on-site, followed by 30–50 hours of studio work

• A one-of-a-kind piece that’s both meaningful and beautifully crafted

What About Photography?

Though I used to take on professional photo work, painting has taken the lead. Photography was an important chapter — and you'll find a quiet gallery of it on the site — but this space is devoted to live and studio-painted portraiture.

Thanks for Being Here

If this sounds like what you're looking for — or even if you're just curious — I’d love to hear more about your day.
