About Pet & People Portraits
When you send a photo for a portrait, the secret is in the lighting. I work best with clear, high-resolution images because that is how I capture the real spark in your pet’s eyes or the genuine expression on your face. You do not need a professional shot, just a photo where you can see the details clearly, and I will handle the rest, from the color mixing to the final varnish.
I create custom acrylic portraits that go beyond just replicating a photo. My approach is entirely about capturing personality. For pet portraits, I love incorporating details, like their favorite toy or even a 'Starry Night' inspired background if you want something artistic and unique.
I primarily use professional-grade acrylic paints on stretched cotton canvas. This ensures the colors stay vibrant and do not fade over time. The edges are gallery-wrapped, so you do not necessarily need a frame unless you want one—they are ready to hang.
My timeline for these pieces is usually 10-14 days. This allows for the painting process and the necessary drying time before I apply a protective varnish to keep the art safe from dust and UV rays.
Whether you want a realistic study or a pop-art style with bold brushstrokes, we will chat about the vibe you are looking for before I pick up the brush. You provide the memory, and I pour my heart into making it a permanent piece of art for your home. Since I ship across India, your custom portrait can reach you wherever you are.
