A young woman's dream came true over the weekend when she was able to give Jennifer Lopez a hand-painted portrait. Esther Moya González is a talented artist who creates incredibly impressive portraits. She has successfully gifted portraits to stars like Chayanne and Dua Lipa, and the next lucky star was JLo.
González attended the “Jenny from the Block” singer's concert on Saturday night at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, Spain, and arrived early to paint the portrait. González couldn’t hold back her excitement as she prepared to meet Lopez’s tour manager, explaining that the dancers had already seen the painting. Once she finished, she went to find Lopez’s tour manager to ask if she could go backstage and give her the painting.
Once she got the approval González couldn't believe the opportunity she was about to have, and had the biggest smile on her face, clearly emotional. Once the moment happened, she handed her the painting, and Lopez was genuinely impressed. “This is so good, wow,” she said. “I’ve seen paintings of myself that are not good. This is amazing,” she said enthusiastically.
A proud González was in tears after the experience, thanking everyone who helped make giving Lopez the painting possible. In tears, she also thanked all her fans and support system.
JLo, who has been touring in Spain for the last week, showed her appreciation by liking the post and sharing videos of their meeting on her Instagram with her millions of followers.
One of the most impressive things about González's art is that she creates the painting in just one day. The painter has a website and describes herself as “an artist known for painting canvases in concert lines, capturing the energy and emotion of those unique moments.”
Painter for the stars
González has a growing Instagram with over 160k followers. She has an impressive list of stars she’s gifted paintings. In June, she gave Nathy Peluso a painting that she completed in 8 hours. Peluso was genuinely in awe as she looked at the painting and heard how quickly it was made.
In May, she also painted one for Young Miko, which drew the attention of the crowd, who cheered her on as she finished.
On April 8th, she gave a canvas to Maluma. The singer happily smiled with the canvas, thankful for his gift.
As her following continues to grow, it'll be exciting to see who the painter gives her next portrait to.
