Hand-Painted Spiritual Art & Divine Murals
From the leela of Radha Krishna to the cosmic grace of Shiva, I bring sacred stories to life on canvas. Here is a look at my large-scale, hand-painted spiritual work.
This large Radha Krishna painting took 68 hours to complete. It's an acrylic on canvas piece showing them in a lotus pond, a classic scene of their divine love.

After 68 hours of work, I am happy to share this finished Shiv Parvati painting. It is a custom order that I poured my heart into. Om Namah Shivay.
About Epic Scenes: Stories on Canvas
When I paint these larger pieces, I focus deeply on the background layers—whether it is a lush lotus pond or a deep cosmic sky—to create a sense of depth and life. Because these are complex commissions, keep in mind that a canvas of this scale usually takes me between 60 to 70 hours of work, spread across several days to ensure the acrylic layers cure properly.
Creating an 'Epic Scene' is a meditative process for me, not just a commission. I start by sketching the composition directly onto the canvas, often using a grid to ensure the proportions of the deities are perfect. I use premium primed cotton canvas for these larger works, as it handles the heavy-body acrylics well and lasts for years.
My process involves building the scene slowly, layer by layer. I start with the background washes and then move to the intricate details like jewelry, clothing textures, and skin tones. This approach is what gives the paintings their richness. Since these large-scale works are delicate, I ship them rolled in a sturdy, professional-grade tube. When you receive it, you will just need to take it to a local shop to have it stretched onto a wooden frame. I also seal every finished piece with a high-quality varnish to protect it from dust and UV light.
