Custom Couple and Family Oil Portraits by Palak

Whether it is a candid wedding shot or a formal family portrait, the goal is to create something that feels personal. For couple portraits, I pay special attention to the textures of jewelry and clothing to add depth and realism. For family pieces, I can merge multiple photos if you do not have one perfect group shot, making sure everyone looks natural together in the composition.

I use heavy-duty cotton or linen canvases and finish each piece with archival varnish to protect against UV and dust, ensuring the painting lasts for generations. Since I work from my studio in Mumbai, I pack every piece with multiple layers of acid-free paper, bubble wrap, and corrugated boxing to ensure it reaches you safely across India.

I do not take shortcuts. A single commission can take anywhere from 65 hours to several weeks because I want to ensure every detail, from skin tones to eye glints, is just right. If it is not perfect, I redo it. That is simply how I work, and I am grateful for the chance to paint your stories.
