I take the time to understand the story behind the image, merging separate photos into one natural scene if needed, ensuring the final piece feels like a true reflection of the connection you share with your loved ones. My work is rooted in 'Taalme'—the belief that patience is a great power. Whether you are looking for a classic black and white charcoal sketch, a deeply personal blood art portrait, or a lively addition to your next event, I treat every request with the same dedication. ### My Approach - **Blood Art Portraits:** This is my most personal offering. Using 2-5ml of provided blood, I create a monochromatic portrait that captures an emotional connection no photograph can replace. I provide clear guidance on how to safely share the sample, whether you are in Bengaluru or elsewhere in India. - **Oil Restoration & Mix Media:** I specialize in taking old, blurry, or damaged photos and breathing new life into them. I can merge individuals from separate photos into one cohesive, realistic oil-on-canvas piece, complete with hand-painted textures for an authentic finish. - **Pencil & Charcoal:** Using acid-free ivory sheets and smooth blending techniques, I focus on realistic, eye-level compositions. Every sketch is framed and sealed to protect against smudging and time. - **Live Event Art:** If you are hosting a wedding, birthday, or corporate event, I bring entertainment to your guests through live caricature and glitter painting. It’s not just about the art; it’s about the joy of watching the process unfold. Every piece is a commitment to quality, from the fixative sprays on my charcoal works to the professional framing I include. If you have a memory you want to preserve or an event you want to make unique, let’s talk. ## About Sanjeev Sangme I’m Sanjeev Sangme. Art isn't just my job; it’s my way of connecting with people.
