About Featured
When you look closely at these pieces, notice the raised textures—that is our traditional gesso work. It is not just paint on a board; we hand-apply a raised paste before adding 24kt gold leaf, which gives the jewelry and prabhavali that signature 3D depth. This process takes time, but it ensures that every deity in your home retains its divine, radiant glow for generations.
The Art of Mysore Painting
Every painting I create follows the traditional path of Mysore art. It begins with a detailed hand-sketch, followed by the gesso work, where we apply a specialized paste to create relief. Once dry, we lay pure 24kt gold leaf onto the relief, creating the distinctive shine that defines this style. Finally, I layer the watercolors to capture the 'Satvik' or serene expressions that give each deity a living presence.
Why Custom Matters
Because I work on each piece individually, I can tailor the composition to your specific needs. Whether you need a small, 10x12-inch portrait for a desk, a multi-figure ensemble for your pooja room, or a large, museum-quality narrative piece, we can adjust the scale and detail. I am happy to work with you on the choice of deity, the gold coverage, and even the color palette to ensure the painting complements your home interior.
Working Together
As I work in Kannada, my daughter Amulya manages all coordination to ensure your requirements are met precisely. We provide updates at every major stage—from the initial sketch to the final gold application—so you can see your painting come to life. Once completed, we pack each piece securely for transit to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
