Kalaa Rahasya

About

Art for me is all about the story. Every portrait I make is trying to catch that spark, that 'Kalaa' (art) hiding in your everyday moments. Sometimes it’s a look, sometimes it’s a joke only you get. I mix my skills with your memories, so it feels real and personal.

What I Create

I work with both digital and traditional mediums, so you get options. Whether you want a personalized caricature artwork for laughs, or a hand-drawn pencil sketch portrait for those classic vibes, just let me know. My digital caricatures are packed with details - your pets, your quirks, even your favorite chai spot in namma Bengaluru. For those who love old-school, my graphite and ink pieces (stippling, line art) go deep into the emotion and likeness. Honestly, some days these take forever, but ‘sothiddyeni, sathilla’ (I’m tired, not dead) - the result is worth it. Oil on canvas? That’s for family heirlooms, meant to last. I also play with scribble art and wild illustration styles if you’re in the mood for something different.

Why Custom Portraits Hit Different

A good portrait is more than a pretty face. I try to blend memories - maybe a ‘halli baalu’ (village life) throwback, or big city dreams. I like adding those small touches that make it yours. If you want a unique gift illustration for birthdays or anniversaries, this hits different - people actually keep these, not just stash them away.

How It Works

You tell me your idea. We chat, swap reference photos, and I send a sketch for you to check. Once you’re cool with it, I finish up in the style you picked. Digital pet portraits and other digital work come as high-res files. Traditional stuff - pencil, ink, oil - you get the real deal in your hands. Framing? I can help, so it’s ready for your wall.
