Live Art Performance & Speed Painting Shows
I turn events into an experience. Whether it is a 30ft rangoli at a mall or a live speed painting act on stage, I bring stories to life with color and energy.
This is what my live speed painting is all about: high energy, a captivated audience, and a unique challenge. Here I am at a college fest, creating a portrait from the movie 'Kantara' while holding a plank position. It’s a performance that combines art with endurance to create a truly memorable show.
For the Ugadi festival, I created this massive 30 by 30 foot rangoli at a major Bangalore mall. This video shows the scale of my work and how a traditional Sanskar Bharti rangoli can transform a large public space, making it a centerpiece for any event.
This piece is very close to my heart, a rangoli depiction of a Daiva from 'Kantara'. Created for a temple jatra in Karwar, this artwork shows the intricate detail and vibrant color I can achieve with rangoli powder, bringing cultural stories to life.
Watch me create a 20 by 20 foot Sanskar Bharti rangoli in just one hour. This performance at the Shri Shantika Parameshwari temple in Kumta demonstrates the speed and precision I bring to my large scale rangoli projects for religious and cultural events.
To celebrate the IPL season, I was commissioned to create this 15 by 15 foot rangoli tribute to RCB at the GT World Mall in Bengaluru. This shows how I can adapt my art for corporate events and brand activations, capturing the excitement of fans.
This is a realistic portrait of cricketer Virat Kohli, created using my signature technique of crushed charcoal and white stone powder. This medium allows for incredible detail and shading, perfect for capturing likenesses of public figures and celebrities.
Here is a glimpse of my Yakshagana rangoli, displayed at the bustling Chitra Santhe art fair in Bengaluru. This piece celebrates the rich heritage of Karnataka's traditional theater, using bold colors and intricate details to honor our culture.
A tribute to the beloved Kannada actor Puneeth Rajkumar, honored as 'Karnataka Ratna'. This portrait, made with charcoal powder, is my way of paying respect and shows how I use art to connect with shared emotions and cultural pride.
About Featured
When I perform, I am not just painting, I am working with the crowd to build energy. For a 15-minute speed painting set, I need a clear 4ft x 6ft space and good lighting to ensure the reveal hits home. For my large-scale rangoli work, I typically need 3 to 5 hours of setup time, depending on the detail required, and a flat, sheltered floor space to ensure the powder stays perfect.
I break my art into two main formats: high-energy live performance and large-scale floor installations.
Live Speed Painting
This is my stage act. I turn a blank canvas into a portrait or custom theme in under 15 minutes. It is perfect for college fests, corporate launches, or awards nights. I perform to a set music track, and the reveal at the end is where the real magic happens. I bring my own heavy-duty easels and paints; you just provide the stage space.
Large-Scale Rangoli
Whether it is a traditional Sanskar Bharti design or a realistic portrait using charcoal and stone powder, I go big. I can cover floor areas from 100 to over 200 sq ft. I have created these for temple jatras in Kumta, mall openings in Bengaluru, and public festivals.
Practical Tips for Booking
- Surface: If you are booking me for an outdoor event, ensure the surface is flat and protected from direct wind or heavy traffic.
- Clean-up: For indoor events like malls or office lobbies, I use non-toxic, high-quality powders that are simple to clean up once the event concludes.
- Travel: I am based in Karwar, but I travel across Karnataka and beyond. If you have a specific theme, let me know in advance so I can plan the design and bring the right colors.
