Featured Portfolio: Custom Surface Art
I turn everyday surfaces into canvas. Here is a glimpse of my work where heritage, personal stories, and design meet for your home.
I believe a wardrobe shouldn't just store things; it should tell a story. This custom-printed veneer panel transforms a functional piece of furniture into a captivating wall mural, featuring a serene, hand-illustrated forest scene that brings a touch of nature's tranquility into the bedroom.
A splash of sunshine for your kitchen. These bespoke ceramic tiles feature a digitally hand-illustrated design of fresh oranges on the vine, turning a simple backsplash into a vibrant, functional piece of art that brightens the entire space.
Your walls are a canvas waiting for a story. For this living room, I designed a custom wallpaper with delicate, blossoming branches, creating a serene and elegant backdrop that feels like stepping into a timeless garden.
Art doesn't have to hang on a wall. This center table features an exquisite landscape design printed directly onto its glass surface, merging modern luxury with timeless artistry to create a sophisticated focal point.
For the Shanghigh restaurant, I designed this immersive ceiling and wall mural featuring a serene koi pond. The artwork transforms the dining space, creating a whimsical and oriental ambiance that elevates the entire guest experience.
Here is a glimpse of my hand-painting process. Every brushstroke is a part of the story, bringing an oriental-inspired landscape to life on this bespoke furniture unit. This is where craftsmanship and artistry meet.
Inspired by the ancient murals of the Ajanta and Ellora Caves, this credenza brings a piece of Indian history into a modern home. The artwork is digitally rendered and printed onto the wooden shutters, creating a powerful statement piece.
Think wallpaper is just for walls? Here are five exciting and unexpected ways I use custom wallpaper to add personality to a space, from wardrobe shutters and ceilings to bedroom panels and furniture.
About Featured
Most clients assume art belongs in a frame, but I specialize in applying it to the surfaces you touch every day. Whether it is printing heritage-inspired murals directly onto your wardrobe shutters or firing custom illustrations into ceramic tiles for your kitchen, my process ensures the art is durable, wipeable, and unique to your interior.
When I start a project, I am not thinking about matching curtains to rugs. I am thinking about how to make a surface talk. My work with digital illustrations allows for intricate patterns, like the Ajanta cave motifs or delicate floral branches, to be printed directly onto veneers, leather, or glass. For those who prefer the manual touch, I pick up my brushes to paint directly onto furniture pieces, sealing them with varnish so they remain functional, not just decorative.
My studio is based in Gurugram, but I handle projects across the National Capital Region. If you are looking to move beyond standard wallpaper, we can look at your wardrobe doors, ceiling panels, or kitchen backsplashes as opportunities for storytelling. If you have an idea—or just a wall that feels too empty—let us talk about how to fill it.
