Featured Artworks: Murals, Leaf Carvings, and Custom Portraits
A glimpse into my art journey, ranging from large-scale wall murals to delicate leaf carvings. Each piece here is crafted with patience and purpose.
This powerful Lord Hanuman mural was a project I completed for a fitness club. I designed it to bring energy and strength to the space, using a bold, graphic style to make a strong impact on the large wall.
Here is one of my favorite leaf carvings, an image of Adi Yogi. I held it up to the sunset to show how the light passes through the delicate cuts, making the art glow. This is the magic of leaf art.
This is an example of a highly detailed custom portrait carved into a dried Peepal leaf. This style requires immense patience and focus, using the leaf's natural texture to create a unique piece of personal art.
Before I start painting any mural, I create a detailed grid sketch directly on the wall. This is a crucial step in my process that ensures all the proportions are accurate and the final artwork is clean and professional.
I carved the sacred Kedarnath Temple into this Peepal leaf. This video shows how the silhouette of the temple stands out against the sky, capturing the spirit of the holy place in a delicate, natural form.
The sacred 'Om' symbol carved into a Peepal leaf. I love creating spiritual art that feels connected to nature, and the simple elegance of this design is very meaningful to me.
About Featured
When I take on a wall mural, I don't just start painting. I use a grid method to sketch the design on your wall first, making sure every proportion is right before I apply a single drop of color. It takes extra time, but it is the only way to get that clean, bold look you see in my gym and café projects.
My art style sits at two extremes: massive wall murals that demand attention and tiny, delicate leaf carvings that require quiet focus. Whether it is a large-scale project for your gym, office, or café, or a personal gift like a portrait on a Peepal leaf, I put the same level of intensity into the work.
For murals, I focus on anatomical accuracy and bold gradients, using grid scaling to ensure the final piece looks sharp from every angle. I treat walls with high-durability acrylics and finish them with a varnish for protection against humidity.
On the other hand, my leaf art is about connecting with nature. I carefully treat and carve Peepal leaves to create intricate designs like the Kedarnath Temple or portraits that catch the light beautifully when held against the sky. I am always experimenting and learning, so if you have a vision, let us talk about it. I work across Delhi NCR and am happy to discuss custom commissions that push my boundaries.
