About Art for Your Home & Life
Everything you see here is made by me in small batches or crafted specially for a client. If you are looking for something personal, like a custom illustration or a hand-painted piece, the process usually takes about 7 to 14 days. I love working on commissions that hold actual meaning, so let's chat about what you have in mind.
More Than Just Decor
I believe the objects around us should tell stories. Whether it is a desk calendar featuring a landscape from my travels in the Tirthan Valley or a phone case painted with a sunset that meant something to you, my goal is to add a bit of soul to the mundane.
How I Create
Most of my small-batch prints use premium 300 GSM textured matte paper. This allows the colors from my digital illustrations—often done in Procreate—to look as close as possible to a real painting. For my original acrylic pieces, I work on canvas boards or high-quality paper, varnishing them for protection so they last as you move through your seasons.
Custom Commissions
If you have a specific vision—maybe a favorite quote, a portrait of a loved one, or a memory you want turned into art—that is where I thrive. For these, we can mix your photos with my signature hand-lettered calligraphy.
A few things to note:
- Timeline: Please account for a 7 to 14-day turnaround for custom work.
- Process: I provide one major layout revision and one minor color tweak to ensure it feels right.
- Usage: These are for personal use, perfect for gifting or setting up a personal corner in your home.
I don't aim for factory-perfect lines; I aim for the feeling of a piece of my heart—my jigar ka tukda—finding a place in your life.
