A curated look at my favourite projects, from Ghibli-inspired Indian landscapes to live sketches of life in Bangalore and the vibrant colours of my home in Kerala.

This is a piece of my home, Kerala, captured during the vibrant Thrissur Pooram festival. I painted this live, or 'en plein air', to truly feel the energy of the drums and the sea of people. This print, available framed or unframed, is a way to bring that incredible warmth and culture into your own space.

What if Howl and Sophie visited India? I imagined them in the serene, snowy landscapes of Ladakh for the January page of my 'Studio Ghibli: The Indian Chronicles' calendar. This project is a dream of mine, blending the magic of Ghibli with the beauty of my country.

A perfect day is sometimes just this: finding a spot in Cubbon Park with my paints and easel. This is where I feel most like myself, capturing the little moments of life happening around me. Come spend a day with me and my artist friends.

This was a special commission, painting the beautiful husky, Kyra. Turning a beloved pet into a piece of art is something I pour my whole heart into. If you have a furry friend you'd like to immortalize in acrylic, let's talk.

There's a different kind of magic when I paint in my hometown, Tanur in Kerala. This plein air watercolor of the beach, with the coconut trees and a lone boat, feels like capturing a memory. It’s these quiet, simple scenes that I love turning into art.

Here’s me, an introvert, trying to find a quiet corner in a loud brewery. Sketching in public can feel a bit strange, but it's also where I find the most interesting stories to tell, capturing the chaos and energy of a place on a quiet page in my sketchbook.

Using my iPad and Procreate, I imagined Kiki from 'Kiki's Delivery Service' soaring through a sunset sky. Digital art lets me play with light and color in a different way, creating these dreamy, glowing scenes that feel like they're straight out of the movie.

The final and most important approval for my first-ever merchandise. Showing my mom the Ghibli calendar I created was a moment I'll never forget. Her smile is the real success. This is why I do what I do.

About Featured

Each piece here, whether it is a detailed acrylic pet portrait or a quick watercolour sketch from Cubbon Park, starts with a specific memory or feeling. I do not use digital filters to create the final look, what you see is the texture of the paper and the layers of paint I have carefully built up over hours in my studio.
