Custom Portraits and Modern Art for Your Home
From chic retro portraits to vibrant pop-culture canvases, I create custom art that captures your personality with a high-gloss, durable finish.
This canvas painting of a young monk was a deeply fulfilling project. I've switched to using Royale paints for my canvas work because their glossy, durable finish gives the piece a rich quality that lasts.
A touch of retro glamour for a modern space. This black and white painting with a pop of red lipstick brings a classic, high-fashion vibe to the room, set against a bold geometric background.
A throwback to one of my earlier large-scale projects. This "Bollywood Villa" mural is a vibrant collage of iconic actors and movie references, perfect for a themed space or a die-hard cinema fan.
This piece was created for a Jaipur-themed clothing store in Bangalore. I painted this ornate "Jaipur door" on canvas to serve as a beautiful backdrop and photo opportunity, enhancing the store's brand and ambience.
About Portraits & Modern Art
I have completely shifted from traditional acrylics to using Royale luxury emulsions for my canvas work. This switch is intentional, as it provides a semi-gloss, durable, and highly scrubbable finish that stands up to dust and humidity better than standard paints. When we start a commission, I don't just guess what you want; we create digital mockups superimposed on your actual wall photos to finalize the composition, colors, and mood before I ever touch a brush.
My process is designed to be as personal as the art itself. Since I work without middlemen, you speak directly to me, the artist, throughout the entire journey. Whether you have a specific vision for a pet portrait, a moody pop-culture piece, or a modern geometric abstract, I treat the canvas as a partnership.
The Customization Process
I specialize in adapting styles to fit your interior aesthetic. If you want a minimalist black-and-white sketch or a vibrant Bollywood-themed mural, we can adjust the color palette and composition to ensure it anchors the room perfectly. My goal is to make art that feels like it belongs in your home, not just something hung up to fill a gap.
Why Royale Emulsions?
In my experience, many standard art materials degrade quickly in our local climate. By using interior wall-grade emulsions on high-quality cotton canvas, I ensure the vibrancy remains intact for years. Each piece is sealed with a professional-grade protective varnish that guards against moisture and fading. If you are placing this in a dining area or a high-traffic hallway, you will notice the difference in texture and longevity immediately.
How We Get Started
- Concept: You share your ideas or photos with me.
- Digital Mockup: I provide 1-2 digital drafts so we can align on the vision.
- Execution: I paint the piece, sending you updates along the way.
- Delivery: Your artwork is stretched on a solid pine or meranti frame, equipped with heavy-duty D-ring hooks, and shipped safely to your door.
I treat every project as a piece of my own legacy, and my mother, who is my partner in this studio, helps ensure that every brushstroke meets our standard for quality. Let’s talk about what we can create for your space.
