About Sacred Stories: Kerala Mural Paintings
Every mural I paint starts with a conversation about what brings you peace. I handle the full process—from sketching the composition to sharing regular progress photos with you. Whether you are choosing a standard 12x14 inch piece or a larger custom-commissioned canvas, my goal is to ensure the final finish matches the vision you have for your home.
Kerala mural painting is a delicate art form that thrives on patience. In my studio, I focus on traditional stippling and dry brush techniques that give divine figures their 3D depth and vibrant intensity. Each piece, whether it is a serene Meenakshi or a dynamic Taruna Ganapati, is crafted using professional-grade acrylics on rigid canvas board. To ensure these colours stay true for years, I apply a double coat of non-yellowing varnish before mounting them in a synthetic wood frame.
Art is deeply personal, and I love creating pieces that fit your life. If you have a specific space in mind, like a quiet corner for a small framed deity or a statement wall for a larger composition, let’s talk. I provide full consultations on colour palettes and subjects. For outstation orders, I take extra care with packaging, shipping larger works as rolled canvas in sturdy PVC tubes to prevent any damage, while local Bengaluru commissions are delivered framed and ready to hang.
Beyond standard sizes, I also offer smaller 'Mini Beauties' that are perfect for desks or as thoughtful gifts for housewarmings and anniversaries. If you are worried about the process, do not be. I share updates at every stage, from the initial pencil outline to the final brushstroke, so you are part of the journey.
