Custom Hand-Painted Art & Spiritual Portraits
I bring stories to life on canvas, from spiritual deities to textured 3D portraits. Let's create something meaningful for your space.
This large oil painting of Hari-Hara, the combined form of Vishnu and Shiva, was a piece of pure devotion. Capturing the sunset behind this 24 by 36-inch linen canvas was a magical moment, reflecting the divine energy I felt while creating it.
I love bringing your precious memories to life in 3D. This custom oil painting of a father and his daughter was created with sculpted textures, making the portrait something you can not only see but also feel.
There is a special magic to glass painting. By painting in reverse, the colours come alive with a unique luminosity, as seen in this custom Radha Krishna piece. Each layer builds upon the last to create the final, vibrant image.
To behold the eyes of Radha and Krishna is to behold life itself. This close-up from a custom oil painting shows the detail and emotion I strive to capture, making the divine connection feel personal and profound.
This oil painting captures the divine embrace of Shiva and Parvati against the backdrop of the Himalayas. Every brushstroke is an ode to their eternal love, a harmony of divine masculine and feminine energies.
This video shows the journey of creating one of my largest paintings, a 24 by 36-inch canvas of Radha and Krishna. From the first sketch to the final details, this piece was a meditation that took many hours of devoted work.
I can turn any photograph into a unique piece of 3D art. For this commission, I transformed a client's photo into a textured oil painting, adding depth and dimension to create a truly one-of-a-kind portrait.
My gouache paintings are where I explore different moods and scenes. This piece captures a feeling of freedom and joy, a girl in a field of sunflowers under a wide-open sky, showing a different side of my artistic expression.
About Featured
Since I work with oils, clay, and textured mediums, I like to chat about your reference photos first to make sure I understand the emotion you want to capture before I touch the canvas. A custom piece takes time—usually anywhere from a few days to over 45 hours depending on the complexity—so please keep that in mind if you have a specific date in mind for a gift.
Every piece I create is a journey. When you order a commission, we start with a conversation about the vision you have, even if your reference photos are old or blurry. My work spans a few different styles, and each one requires a specific approach:
My Artistic Approach
- Oil Canvas Portraits: These are my go-to for depth and longevity. I use fine grain cotton canvas and professional-grade oil paints to ensure rich pigmentation. Each portrait is finished with a protective varnish to keep it dust-free and vibrant for years.
- 3D Textured Art: If you want something you can feel, this is it. I use molding paste and clay to sculpt raised details—like jewelry or fabric folds—before painting. This gives the artwork a tactile, embossed projection that stands out on any wall.
- Glass Painting: I love this for the luminosity it creates. By painting on the reverse side of a clear acrylic sheet, the colours shine through with a unique clarity that traditional canvas doesn't offer.
How I Work
Whether you are looking for a spiritual deity painting or a personalized portrait, I handle the process personally. I send sketches for approval before I begin the final paint application on oils. For 3D textured pieces, please note that the timeline is a bit longer—usually 10 to 14 days—because the clay and molding paste need time to dry and cure properly before I can varnish them.
I ship across India using multi-layer packaging with butter paper and cardboard reinforcement, so your artwork reaches you safely, just as I intended it to look.
