About Commissioned Paintings
What Drives My Art
Art for me is not just decoration - it's about sharing a piece of my heart. Every painting I make is personal, whether it's a Radha Krishna mural or a simple portrait. I want my work to feel like home for you, to spark a memory or bring some peace.
What I Love Creating
- Portraits of people and pets - from family photos to your favourite furry friend. As a pet parent, I know how much those faces mean.
- Spiritual artwork commission - Lord Shiva, Ganesha, Buddha with a glow-in-the-dark twist, goddesses celebrating nari shakti (woman power).
- Kerala mural commission - Bright, detailed pieces inspired by our Malayali heritage and local stories.
- Nature scenes - Bengaluru sunrises, wildflowers, forests, anything that brings the outside in.
How It Works
- I use acrylics on canvas, with sizes ranging from small 6x6 inches to big statement pieces.
- If you want something special, like 3D textures or a painting that glows at night, we can do that too.
- You bring your idea or photo, and I’ll bring it to life.
A Bit About Me
It's me, my paints, and my cats (they're proper brush thieves). My studio is simple, but every piece is made with love. If you want something truly personal, I’m here for it.

My Story
Hey, I'm Biji from Bangalore, painting is my way to breathe. I’m Malayali, so Onam time means flowers, food, and family - pure happiness. When I’m not painting, I’m with my differently-abled buddies, making Deepawali cards or prepping for events. My cats, Chiku and Sandy, are always around, stealing my brushes and keeping me company. Long drives with family, mountain views, beach sounds - that’s my kind of peace.

Community & Exhibitions - I’m part of Bangalore’s art scene, showing my work at Chitra Santhe and The Haat of Art. Meeting art lovers is the best part.
