Behind the Brush: Our Mural Art Process and Story
Step into our world. See how my amma and I turn blank walls into magic, the stories behind our favorite murals, and the special moments that inspire us to keep creating!
My mother decided to take on this entire gold foil mural by herself, and the result is a classic! I'm so proud she is working with me on my art projects. This is a new milestone for us.
My mother got featured in Galatta! The headline says, "Social media is stunned by the artworks of this woman!" We started late but are reaching people quickly, all thanks to your love and support.

About Behind the Brush & In the Press
The best part of my work isn't just the painting, it's the process of bringing your vision to life. Often, I start with a rough sketch or even a surprise reveal, building on the trust you place in us to transform your home. Whether it is a double-height staircase or a cozy bedroom, my amma and I work together to make sure the final result feels personal, just like we did for actor Teja Venkatesh.
People often ask how my amma and I work together. We are a team. She brings her dedication, I bring the design, and together we handle everything from complex gold foil work to intricate Pichwai art. We started this journey not long ago, but seeing our work featured on platforms like Galatta tells us we are on the right track. My mother grew up in an orthodox family and had a tough life, but now she stands independent and works alongside me. It is a blessing from the Almighty to have her by my side.
When I work with a client, like Teja Venkatesh, I don't just paint. I try to understand the persona and lifestyle first. Whether it is a tropical jungle mural or a heritage-inspired relief piece, the goal is to match your vibe. My process involves a chat, a rough sketch, and sometimes, a bit of trust from your end so I can deliver a surprise reveal that exceeds expectations.
I am based in Bangalore, but I travel across India to make your walls speak. If you are curious about how a mural could change your living room or office space, let's talk. I believe art should be accessible, and I love explaining how we use materials like Asian Paints Royale or gold leaf to get that perfect finish. Let us create something special together.
