From applying heavy texture to delicate varnish layers, the entire creation happens by hand right here in my studio. The 'behind the scenes' of a piece is where the real magic happens. Since many of my works, especially the 3D textured pieces or large-scale narrative sets, can take up to 4-5 months, patience is part of the process. I believe in quality over speed. Whether I am using modeling paste for relief depth or applying gold leaf for that extra shimmer, I ensure every detail is intentional. Once the paint is dry, I seal every canvas with a triple coat of varnish to protect it from dust and UV rays. I handle all the logistics too, packing pieces in heavy-duty PVC pipes or wooden crates so they reach your home perfectly, whether you are in Delhi, Mumbai, or anywhere else in India. ## About Nida Abbasi I’m Nida, and my studio is where your stories turn into art. I love that I don't have to stick to one style, so I experiment, sketch, and get messy with paints until the piece feels just right for your space.
