MEET THE TEAM

The people behind Diego Flores Art ✨

Art brought us together. Now, we use it to bring joy to others.

We’re Diego and María Paula, partners in life, parents, creatives, and the team behind Diego Flores Art.

What started with Diego’s passion for art has grown into something we now share: creating colorful, memorable experiences for children and families throughout the Bay Area.

For us, it’s about more than face painting. It’s about creating smiles, connections, and little moments that become part of a special day.

Welcome to our team. We can’t wait to create something special with you! ✨

Face Painter • Creative • Princess and Unicorn Design Lover

By profession, I’m a Systems Engineer, but I found another passion in the colorful world of face painting.

Over the years, I’ve gained experience creating magical moments for children at birthdays, family celebrations, and special events. I especially love princess-inspired designs, fairytales, and all things magical, bringing a little piece of their imagination to life is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

Being part of Diego Flores Art allows me to combine creativity, patience, and my love for working with children. And nothing beats seeing that big smile when they look in the mirror for the first time.

I can’t wait to bring a little magic to your next celebration!

Founder • Face Painter • Caricaturist • FX Makeup Artist

I’m a professional artist and the founder of Diego Flores Art. Art has been part of my life for more than 15 years, taking me through different creative paths and allowing me to turn something I’ve always loved into what I do today.

My journey includes around three years working as a Special Effects Makeup Artist and nearly five years dedicated to professional face painting, along with my experience as a caricature artist. Each of these creative paths has shaped the way I approach my work today, with imagination, attention to detail, and a genuine love for connecting with people.

Through Diego Flores Art, I’ve had the opportunity to bring that creativity to birthdays, schools, community celebrations, and corporate events throughout the Bay Area.

One of my favorite moments is still the simplest one: seeing someone look in the mirror and smile at what we created together.
