Custom Acrylic Paintings and Commissions
Hi, I'm Ashwini. Whether it’s a portrait of your pet or a landscape from your favorite travel memory, I love helping you freeze moments in time on canvas.
This painting of the Kedarnath temple is one of my most cherished creations. The process was a long and soothing journey, layering details of the temple's sacred architecture against the majestic, snow-capped mountains. It represents a deep sense of peace and connection that I strive to bring into my art.
I believe art can hold a memory forever. This acrylic portrait was a commission to honor Bunny, a beloved beagle who is no longer with us. Capturing his gentle spirit on canvas was a deeply emotional process, and I hope this painting serves as a joyful and everlasting tribute for his family.
Here is a piece that celebrates the grace of Indian tradition. Painted on a wooden surface, this artwork depicts a woman holding a diya, a symbol of light and hope. I loved bringing together the vibrant red background with the intricate details of her attire and jewelry to create a feeling of warmth and cultural richness.
As an engineer at Mercedes, it was a special moment to paint this yellow AMG for a mentor who has had a huge impact on my life. This piece blends my professional world with my artistic passion. I focused on capturing the car's sleek design and powerful presence against a serene coastal backdrop.
This abstract piece, "Colours of Life," represents the beautiful chaos of the human experience. It symbolizes a moment of profound revelation, where vibrant emotions and ideas burst forth. For me, painting this was an exercise in trusting the process and venturing into the unknown, celebrating the boundless nature of our thoughts and feelings.
Art isn't just for walls. I love experimenting with different surfaces, like painting this depiction of Adiyogi Shiva on a black t-shirt. It’s a way to carry a piece of divine energy and personal expression with you. If you have an idea for custom wearable art, I would be excited to create it.
A custom painting makes for a truly personal gift. I created this piece for my dear friends' wedding, capturing them with their dog Ricky, watching the sunset from a pier. It freezes a perfect moment of love and companionship, turning a cherished memory into a timeless work of art.
About this collection
When you commission a piece, I don’t just start painting. We first discuss the specific layout and reference photos you have, so I can merge details or adjust backgrounds to ensure the final composition feels exactly how you envisioned it.
Art is my therapy, an escape from the daily grind of my engineering work. My process is very much a collaboration. Because I specialize in custom acrylic paintings, I prefer to understand the story behind what you want painted before I pick up a brush.
My Approach to Commissions
- Portraits & Pets: Whether it's a person or a pet, I focus on capturing their specific likeness and expression. I offer options ranging from stylized, modern aesthetics to detailed traditional portraits. For pet owners, I know these are more than just paintings; they are tributes to your companions.
- Landscapes & Memories: If you have travel photos from a trip you want to preserve, I can merge elements from different shots to create a cohesive scene. I often remove crowds or enhance natural lighting to make the memory feel as vibrant as it was in the moment.
- Technical Details: I work primarily with heavy body acrylics on stretched canvas or canvas board. To ensure your art lasts, I apply two coats of varnish (gloss or matte) to protect it from dust and UV light once the painting is fully cured.
Art for a Cause
I believe in giving back, which is why a portion of the proceeds from every painting goes directly toward the treatment of injured street animals. When you hang one of my pieces on your wall, you are also playing a part in helping a animal in need.
Since I handle these commissions alongside my professional role, I typically require 2 to 3 weeks to complete a piece. This gives me the time to focus on the layering and detailing that gives the work its character. If you have an idea in mind, feel free to reach out and let's chat about bringing it to life.
