Couple & Anniversary Portraits: Hand-Painted Memories in Oil

I don't just copy a photo. I build a scene. If you have two separate pictures of yourselves or a background that feels a bit cluttered, I can merge and refine them into one cohesive oil portrait. We will work together on the composition first so that by the time I pick up the brush, we both know exactly how your final piece will look on your wall.

How We Create Your Portrait

My goal is to give you a piece of art that looks like a story, not just a filter over a photograph. When you commission a couple's portrait, we start by looking at your reference images. You don't need a professional photo shoot to get a great painting. I often work with casual selfies, candid wedding shots, or even old, faded photos that hold deep personal meaning.

The Artistic Process

Once we finalize the photo, I begin the oil painting on high-quality, fine-grain cotton canvas. I focus heavily on the facial expressions and the intricate details of your clothing—the embroidery on a lehenga or the texture of a sherwani is where the 'real' magic happens. For the background, we can keep it realistic or go for a slightly impressionistic style if you prefer looser, more visible brushstrokes that add an artistic flair.

Quality and Framing

Every painting is coated with professional-grade, non-yellowing picture varnish. This isn't just about making it shiny; it protects your investment from dust and UV light for years to come. Your portrait arrives ready to hang. I include a high-quality synthetic wood frame, so you don’t have to hunt for a framer locally. If you prefer to frame it yourself, I also offer rolled canvas options. I pack every piece with layers of bubble wrap and sturdy protection to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition, whether you are in Delhi, Bangalore, or anywhere else in India.
