About Custom Portrait Paintings & Sketches
Why I Paint
Art for me isn’t about paisa - it’s how I breathe. I don’t just copy photos, I find the emotion and real story in them. After 10 years and 5000+ faces, I know every portrait is a piece of someone’s life, not just a pretty image.
Turning Imperfect Photos Into Real Memories
Faded, tiny, or blurred photo? Mera favourite challenge hai! Jugaad zindabad - I can bring old photos to life, even ID cards or phone snaps. If you want a portrait painting from old photos, I’ll work my magic. Got separate pics of loved ones? I can merge multiple photos into one portrait so everyone’s together.
You Dream It, I Paint It
Change the background, add a sherwani, open closed eyes, or include a personal message - almost anything can be customised. If you want extra touches like gold leaf or special text, just tell me.
Mediums & Style
I use oil painting (classic, detailed), charcoal sketch (dramatic, realistic), watercolor (fresh, vibrant), dry brush, plus pencil, acrylic, and gouache. If you want an oil portrait commission or a realistic charcoal sketch artist, I’ve got you covered.
Collaborating With You
We chat about your vision, you share your story and photos, then I get to work. Urgent requests are welcome - bas bata dena (just let me know). Your happiness is my final goal.
For Any Occasion
Portraits make timeless gifts - family milestones, memorials, farewells, or just for yourself. Every piece is personal, every story matters.

My Story
Someone once commented, 'job pakad bhai… art ameer logo ka kaam hota hai' (get a job bro, art is for rich people). I just laughed. Sach bataun? (Truth is...) This brush and canvas, they’re my therapy. Money isn’t why I paint. The real reward? When a client sees their custom oil painting and gets emotional. I once painted a grandfather’s eyes from a blurry photo - their happiness made it all worth it. 15 years chasing perfect, ab main sach banata hoon (now I paint truth).

Fast Process, Realistic Touch - For quick charcoal sketch or oil, I pre-mix colors and use special oils so your art dries overnight.
