ABOUT ME
Jylle Navarro is the neon-fuelled force behind Neon Naked Life Drawing — a truly unique UV art experience based in London. A self-confessed ‘typical ADHD artist,’ she channels her love of colour, chaos, and experimentation into everything from immersive figure drawing workshops to costume design and performance art.
With a background in alternative knitwear and a master’s degree in Art and Science from Central Saint Martins, Jylle’s creative work spans music videos, live art, and conceptual installation. Her distinctive aesthetic — bold, surreal, and UV-reactive — is also reflected in the illustrated prints and merch available in the shop.
What began as a quirky drink and draw event in a Dalston pub has grown into a multi-location art experience with classes now running four times a week across London — from Brixton to Shoreditch — and soon branching into Bristol. Whether you're joining a hen party, date night, or just getting weird with neon pastels on a Tuesday, Neon Naked is built to be inclusive, playful, and wildly creative — just like the mind behind it.
