My Featured Collection: Stories and Memories in Art
A curated glimpse into my heart. Here’s a collection of the nostalgia, cinematic moments, and mountain memories that define Handmade by Malvika.
This illustration from the movie 'Tamasha' is very close to my heart. I believe we all have the power to rewrite our own stories, and this piece, with its vibrant colors and Devanagari lettering, is a reminder of that. It's available as a high-quality art print for your space.
I often return to the mountains in my paintings. This watercolor piece captures the feeling of a clear day in the Himalayas, with layers of pink and green hills under a vast blue sky. It’s a moment of peace, painted from memory and available as a print.
Part of my surreal dream series, this illustration explores how books can be a secret door to another world. I used a mix of detailed pen art and a splash of color to show that escape into imagination, where a river of dreams flows right out of a window.
Poetry often inspires my animated illustrations. This piece brings a beautiful Hindi poem by Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena to life against a dreamy, moonlit sky. The gentle movement of the clouds and the flowing Devanagari script create a moment of calm reflection.
The movie 'Anand' taught us that life should be big, not long. This digital illustration captures the iconic characters and that profound message with hand-drawn typography. It’s a piece of cinematic history, perfect for anyone who loves classic Bollywood.
Some of my art is just a page from my memory book. This digital painting is about the simple, happy memory of my nani peeling oranges in the winter sun. It’s these small, personal moments that I love turning into illustrations.
A quick look at my 2023 desk calendar, filled with twelve of my favorite mountain paintings. Each month features a different landscape, from snowy peaks to lush green valleys, bringing a bit of nature to your workspace all year round.
A little hello from me. In this video, I talk about my journey as a potter and artist, and how I love bringing elements of nature into my work. It’s a peek into my world and the passion behind every piece I create.
About Featured
When I sit down to create, I’m not just making art; I’m trying to save a fleeting moment, like the way light hits a mountain ridge or the specific ache of a favorite movie scene. This featured collection is a mix of my most requested pieces, from movie-inspired typography to hand-painted mountain homes, all printed on textured 300 GSM archival paper. If any of these resonate, we can easily adjust the size or start a fresh, custom commission to better fit your home or a specific memory you want to hold onto.
Finding Your Story in My Art
I’ve always believed that art should feel like a conversation. Whether you’re a fellow cinephile, a lover of poetry, or someone who finds their peace in the mountains, there is a piece here for your wall.
What You’ll Find in This Collection:
- Cinema & Poetry Prints: These are for the ones who remember the dialogue as much as the scene. I use high-resolution archival inks on 300 GSM textured matte paper to make sure the hand-lettered calligraphy (in both English and Devanagari) feels as real as it did in my sketchbook.
- Mountain Landscapes: Painted from memory, these pieces are my attempt to bring the quiet of Tirthan Valley into your living room. Because they are 1-of-1 originals or small-batch prints, they carry that raw, imperfect energy of the outdoors.
- Custom Commissions: Sometimes, the story isn't mine—it's yours. If you have a favorite quote, a childhood memory, or a dream you want to visualize, I love working on personal illustrations. We can mix photos, words, or just a vibe to create something truly personal.
Practical Details:
- Paper & Tech: I use premium archival-grade fade-resistant inks. Your art is shipped flat in rigid envelopes with backing boards so it reaches your wall without a single crease.
- Turnaround: If we are working on a custom digital portrait or commission, it typically takes 7 to 14 days. I like to take my time because these pieces are my jigar ka tukda (pieces of my heart), and I want them to be right.
Browse through, and if something catches your eye or stirs a memory, let's talk. I’m always open to turning your personal stories into art.
