Custom Paintings That Tell Your Story
Your space, your narrative, your colours. Let's create art that feels like home.
The final, framed Pichwai-inspired painting of Shrinath Ji. It means the world to me when someone makes space for my art on their walls, in their home. This piece was a journey of love and devotion.
This 2x3 feet Pichwai-inspired painting took over 30 hours of dedicated work in my Delhi studio. It was my biggest commission, a journey that started with a simple conversation and grew into a world on canvas, now living in its new home.
This small illustration, created for an organization I admire, carries a big message: "My superpower is that I care." I love creating custom art that captures the values and spirit of people and communities doing important work.
This custom painting, designed for The Wisdom Tree's diary cover, was a joy to create. I love translating an organization's ideas into the language of colour and feeling.
My art on the cover of a diary for Blue Ribbon Movement. Seeing my painting become a part of someone's daily life is one of the most rewarding feelings as an artist.
My first Pichwai painting, ready to go to its new home. Every commissioned piece begins with listening to the client's story, their colours, and the forms that feel like home to them.
Working on the intricate details of the Shrinath Ji painting. This piece was my biggest commissioned work and a deep dive into the beautiful tradition of Pichwai art.
About this collection
Before I touch a brush, we sit for a 60-90 minute consultation. We do not just pick a colour palette, we map your narrative, memories, and the specific emotion you want to anchor in your home. This is the foundation for every piece I paint.
When you commission a piece, you are not just buying a painting; you are collaborating on a story. Whether it is a canvas for your living room or a meaningful gift, I guide you through the process to ensure the final result resonates with your life.
The Process
Every project begins with that initial conversation. I want to know what makes you feel seen. Are we capturing a specific memory, a tribute to a loved one, or an abstract feeling? Once we align on the story, I sketch 2-3 concepts and we finalise the palette before the painting begins.
Styles & Mediums
I work primarily with high-grade materials to ensure your art lasts. Depending on the theme, we can explore:
- Abstract Emotion: Perfect for capturing feelings and energy.
- Whimsical Illustrative: For stories that need a bit of magic and character.
- Semi-Realistic: When you want a recognizable connection to a memory or person.
I use 300 GSM cold-pressed watercolor paper or primed cotton canvas boards, working with professional-grade Gouache, Watercolors, or heavy-body Acrylics. Every piece is finished with a protective sleeve or varnish to ensure it stays safe while it makes its way to your wall.
Why This Matters
For a long time, I never put art on my own walls because nothing felt like 'me.' Now, I paint to help others find that sense of belonging. Whether it is a small A4 illustration or a larger statement piece, my goal is that when you look at it, you feel a bit more at home.
Anupama
I’m Anupama. For me, painting is about finding 'apnapan', a sense of belonging. I don't just create art; I help you translate your personal stories, struggles, and joys into colours that make your space truly yours.
