Behind the Scenes: My Hand-crafted Art and Design Process
Welcome to my studio. Here is a peek at how I mix my architectural training with a bit of paint, thread, and heart to create your custom pieces.
This video shows the process of making a wooden miniature from start to finish. It begins with cutting the MDF board, painting the silhouette, and then adding all the hand-painted details.

Here's another process video showing how I draw a Marathi bride and groom. I start with a simple outline and slowly build up the colors and intricate details of their wedding attire.
I love the flow of drawing fabric. This is a quick process video of me illustrating a beautiful, flowing green ghagra choli for a digital piece.

About My Art & Process
When I start a custom project, it is rarely just about the final product. Whether I am sketching a digital invitation or building a scale model, my architectural training dictates the structure, but the details are where the personality comes in. I always start every commission with a rough sketch or a digital render so we are aligned on the vision before the first coat of paint or stitch is even applied.
People often ask how an architect ends up making crochet gajras and hand-painted Antarpats. Honestly, it is all the same brain at work. Design is design, whether it involves a 3D architectural model or a tiny personalized wooden cutout for your home.
My Approach to Custom Work
-
Digital Illustrations: I treat every caricature like a floor plan. Balance, scale, and composition matter just as much as the colors. I draw from your reference photos and keep tweaking until the vibe matches your specific story.
-
Hand-painted Decor: From traditional Antarpats to festive Kandeels, I use high-quality acrylics on durable cotton blends. Because these are hand-painted, they do not look like mass-produced factory items. They have that human touch and slight variations that make them truly yours.
-
Architectural Precision: My training shows up in the 'engineering' of my physical pieces. When I build a custom makhar or a 3D memory frame, I look at structural integrity first. I want your piece to last, not just look good for one day.
My goal is to create something you will actually keep. Whether it is a thumbprint guestbook or a personalized standee, I build these to be heirlooms. If you are curious about a specific design idea or want to know if a particular vision can be built, send me a message on WhatsApp. I am usually around the studio or working on a new project, so I can often give you a quick idea of feasibility right away.
