Art is my soul, my way to scrub off the dust of daily life. I graduated from Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, but you’ll mostly spot me painting out there, on a street corner or Cubbon Park bench. Sometimes my nanu (grandpa) holds an umbrella for me while I paint under the hot sun - those moments are gold. Missed posting for a bit, life happens, but I’m back with my paints. All I want is to make my world colourful. ### My work - **Art Services Offered**: I do live street painting, custom mandala drawing, clay sculptures, thread art portrait, and cityscape watercolor. Framing available. - **My Process**: Practice is key. Did a 100 days challenge to keep improving. My art is pure hard work. - **Custom Orders**: Costamised (customised) art - portraits, scenes, any size from A4 sketches to big thread works. Let’s talk. - **My Workspace**: My easel goes anywhere - terrace, markets, parks. I paint what I see, what’s real around me.
