I might blend the hills of Narkanda with a house I once spotted in Spiti, painting them layer by layer until they feel real. If you want a specific mountain view or a landscape that reminds you of home, I can paint that from your photos. Painting with watercolors is an exercise in patience. You have to learn the art of letting go, especially when the water takes the pigment in directions you did not plan. I often find myself sketching while roaming the Tirthan Valley, trying to catch the rustic charm of Himachali architecture before the light shifts. My goal is not to create a perfect photograph, but to capture how a place feels on a fresh morning or during a dusky sunset. You will see a lot of pahaad wale ghar, or mountain houses, in my work, featuring crooked stairs and pine trees swaying in the mist. These are not just landscapes, they are little fragments of the slow life I constantly chase. Whether it is the quiet patience of bare winter trees or the glow of a window against a dusky pink sky, I try to pack those emotions into every piece. I work on 300 GSM cold press paper, ensuring the colors stay vibrant and the textures hold up over time. Every piece is hand-signed and dated, carrying a bit of my journey with it. ## About Malvika I am Malvika, an artist who finds peace in painting the mountains I have visited and the ones I have dreamt about. My work is a jumble of Spiti houses, Tirthan valleys, and all the feelings I cannot say out loud.
