About The Heart of Tulunad: Cultural Murals
Every mural we paint starts with a hand-drawn sketch, ensuring the soul of the art is preserved. We use high-grade artist acrylics and exterior emulsions, applying a protective clear varnish coat on every project. This ensures that whether it is a public wall or a hotel lobby, these cultural depictions remain vibrant and weather-resistant against the coastal humidity of Mangalore.
Bringing Our Culture Home
When we paint a Yakshagana performer or the energy of a Kambala buffalo race, we are not just decorating a wall. We are documenting the history and the heartbeat of Tulunad. Our team at Aditattva Art focuses on authenticity. We study the traditional makeup of the Yakshagana artists and the specific muscle tension of the bulls in a Kambala race, so the final artwork looks real, not generic.
Where We Paint
These murals are versatile. We have painted them in:
- Public Spaces: Collaborating with foundations and the Indian Railways to beautify Mangalore's streets.
- Hospitality & Hotels: Adding a 'Glimpse of Tulunad' to lobbies and restaurant walls to give visitors a true sense of the local vibe.
- Residential Interiors: Creating meaningful feature walls in living rooms or pooja spaces where heritage meets modern design.
The Process
We don't believe in standard templates. Once you share your vision, we draft a concept mockup. Our execution involves advanced freehand painting techniques—blending and shading to create 3D depth and realism. We work with both indoor and outdoor spaces, and we are firm about our materials. We use Royale Play emulsions and artist-grade pigments so you are not left with a faded wall a year later. If you want a piece of home on your wall, let us know what story you want to tell.
Aditattva Art
I’m Vicky Shetty. At Aditattva Art, my team and I believe our walls should tell the stories of where we come from. We put our heart into painting the sights of Tulunad, whether it is the intense gaze of a Yakshagana dancer or the raw power of a Kambala race.
