## About Custom Portrait Art

I turn your favourite photos into art that feels alive. Whether it's a family moment, a memory of someone special, or just a fun pic with your pet, I try to capture the feeling behind the image - not just the look.

### What I Paint

- Personalized family portrait for gifts, heirlooms, or memorials
- Couples, celebrations, and pets (haan, main pets bhi paint karti hoon - yes, I paint pets too)
- Traditional attire and cultural details, inspired by my own *Aagri Koli* roots

### Styles You Can Pick

- Realistic acrylic painting on canvas - vibrant, detailed, and finished with varnish for long-lasting colour
- Hand-drawn pencil sketch - classic, emotional, all about light and expression
- Digital portraits - modern, colourful, delivered as a high-quality file you can print

### How We Work Together

- You send me your photo and ideas
- I share a rough sketch for your feedback
- I create the final artwork, making changes if needed till it's *bilkul* perfect (absolutely perfect)
- I pack and deliver your piece safely

### Keeping It Real

Sometimes, I redo parts if the vibe isn’t right. Art is personal, and I want you to feel happy with what you get. *Baaki uparwala sambhaal raha hai* (the one above is taking care of the rest).

If you want your pet in a suit or your grandma in her favourite saree, just tell me. I love quirky ideas.

## Meet your expert

[Karishma Joshi](https://mytribe.in/kjcreations___)

### My story

Main Karishma. My life? Art, bas. Blank wall, white canvas, I see stories. Heart ka connection hai - jab Mahadev ya Ganpati banta hai brush se, lagta hai jaise bhakti bhi rang jaati hai. Mera Aagri Koli culture bhi har mural mein aa hi jaata hai, especially Ganpati ya Navratri ke time. Art se khushi milti hai, jab kisi ke chehre pe smile aati hai mere painting dekhke. Baaki sab uparwala dekhta hai.

### My work

- **Murals, Portraits, Wall Art, Sculptures**: Custom murals, portraits (canvas, digital, sketch), wall art, sculptures, and festive decorations for Ganpati, Navratri.
- **Blank Walls to Stories**: Har wall ko art bana deti hoon - ghar, cafe, gym, ya street, sab jagah. Superheroes, crabs, ya peacocks, jo vibe chahiye.
- **Portraits with Emotions**: Acrylic canvas portraits, digital sketches, graphite pencil art - sab mein emotion pakadna zaruri hai. Realistic acrylic canvas portrait bhi karti hoon.
- **Faith & Culture in Art**: Mahadev, Swami Samarth, Shivaji Maharaj, traditional Pichwai painting, aur Aagri Koli culture - sab milta hai mere art mein.
- **Happy Client, Happy Me**: Agar client ko pasand nahi aaya, toh main phir se banaungi. Perfect hona chahiye, warna maza nahi.
