Custom Murals for Businesses and Community Spaces
I transform commercial and public walls into storytelling spaces that invite conversation and joy. My process is collaborative, often involving your community to ensure the final piece feels like it truly belongs in your space.
A video showing the collaborative effort behind the Cubbytales daycare mural. Volunteers and I worked together to paint the hopscotch game and wall art, turning the entrance into a happy, welcoming place for kids and parents.
This video documents the creation of the mural at First Choice restaurant in Fort Kochi. It features the owner's young daughter, who was my co-artist for the project, adding color to the wall. This is how a mural becomes part of a family's and a community's story.
About Art for Businesses & Community Spaces
I paint murals that aren't just for show. They are meant to be touched, walked on, and lived in. When I did a project at a restaurant in Kochi, the owner’s young daughter picked up a brush and helped me finish the wall. That shared experience is exactly what I look for in my work, whether it’s a hopscotch floor at a daycare or a vibrant mural for a local cafe. It makes the art part of the building's story, not just a decoration.
My work changes based on the space. For high-traffic floors, like those in daycare centres, I use specific floor-grade acrylics sealed with heavy-duty Polyurethane varnish to handle scuffing and mopping. If you want something edgier, I use aerosol spray paints for clean typography and graffiti styles. For interiors that need a more traditional or textured feel, I stick to fine-brush work with heavy-body acrylics, focusing on intricate botanical or heritage patterns.
Everything begins with a conversation. I ask about your space, who uses it, and what you want it to say. I don’t just show up and paint. I research, sketch, and often involve the local community or your family in the process. This isn't just about applying paint to a surface. It is about creating an environment where people feel comfortable, playful, or provoked into thought. Whether you are a business looking to engage customers or a community collective wanting to brighten a street, I am ready to help you plan the project. I travel across India for mural installations and love taking on new challenges, from small cafes to large public walls.
