Pop Artist. Rule Breaker. Wearable Art Pioneer

Boyarde Messenger is an internationally renowned British Pop Artist and founder of Boyarde Art House, known for painting on everything from the female body to Hermes Birkins. Self-titled The Chameleon Artist and fondly known as The Mother of Luxury Customisation, trailblazing multiple paths, from her live body painting exhibition at The Saatchi Gallery in 2009, to painting the first hand-painted Hermes Birkin in 2012, she has built a reputation as a pioneer in the luxury fashion/art sector, constantly transcending boundaries, transforming everything in her path into a form of art.  

Wearable art is where she reigns supreme—with her signature fusion of playful Pop Art storytelling -- hand painting onto a Rare £100K Crocodile Kelly to a Balenciaga Coffee Cup, even Bearbrick Dolls—there’s nothing she can’t transform.  

"If you can dream it, I’ll paint it." —Boyarde 

From Bottoms to Birkins

Boyarde’s creative journey began with the female form. Exploring themes of empowerment, Scopophilia, and the ‘pleasure of gazing at the female form’, she turned her insecurities and desires into powerful body art—painting  on local women in her second home, Belize, and using her work to challenge perceptions of nudity, femininity, and control.

One of her most iconic moments? Her painted models strutting through rush hour traffic on King’s Road, on the way to a live performance at The Saatchi Gallery—where her work was exhibited alongside Banksy and featured across national press. 

The transition from bodies to Birkins came organically. In 2012, she was commissioned to hand-paint 100 Charlotte Olympia shoes for Neiman Marcus, Art Basel Miami, and soon after, painted on her first Hermès Birkin, which went viral. This catapulted her into the fashion spotlight with every luxury fashion magazine calling to find out about the artist hand-painting on £10000 Birkins being sent to her from all over the world. 

This launched Boyarde Art House—a team of specially trained artisans transforming luxury fashion and lifestyle items into wearable, collectable works of art. 

For the Client Who Has It All 

Boyarde paints for those who want more than just art—they want an experience. From a Royal Enfield motorbike for The Elephant Family Charity and ambassador HRH Queen Camilla, to a five Masterpiece humidor collection for Davidoff, to 15ft wall art for collectors in London and the Caribbean, she thrives on the thrill of turning the unexpected into the unforgettable. 

 Empowerment Is the Medium 

At the core of everything Boyarde creates is a deeper message: empowerment through self-expression. Whether painted on your body or your Birkin, her mission remains the same—to help women take ownership of their story, their sensuality, and their space in the world. 

"Let me bring out your inner goddess." —Boyarde

The Pivot Is Brewing… 

In recent years, Boyarde has been invited to share her voice through creative talks and workshops at prestigious venues including luxury department store DFS T Galleria (Sydney & Macau), Annabel’s Private Members Club (with Lucia Van Der Post of How To Spend It), The Goddess Formula Retreat in Ibiza, The Chelsea Arts Club, and The Mandarin Oriental Mayfair. 

These experiences reaffirmed her deeper mission: to use art as a tool for transformation—not just on canvas, but within.  

Now, she’s building the next chapter of her brand: immersive empowerment workshops designed to help women reconnect with their inner goddess, ignite their feminine fire, and tap into their creative power—one fabulous brushstroke at a time.
