Hand-Painted Murals and Custom Wall Art
I travel across India, turning blank walls into living stories. From community projects to restaurant interiors, I paint what connects us—nature, local heritage, and the human spirit.
The finished mural in Coorg, 'My Kodavathi Beauty.' This vibrant piece celebrates the spirit of the local Kodavathi women, the coffee plantations, and the rich biodiversity of the region.
Here I am with a tiger mural I painted for a restaurant in Uttarakhand. The theme was the vibrant nature of the region, and this piece brings a touch of the wild indoors.
Celebrating the completion of 'The celestial grace in blue.' This large mural was an opportunity to explore my intricate, free-flowing style on a grand scale, creating a mythical creature inspired by the local landscape.
I became a street artist because I wanted to travel and paint. This video shows the process of creating my 'Baba & the Bird' mural in Jaipur, a piece that became a milestone in my journey.
This video documents the entire process for the Coorg mural, from sketching the design on my iPad to collaborating with local kids and bringing the final vision to life on the wall.

Another video of the Coorg mural process, titled 'My Kodavathi Beauty.' It shows the transformation of a blank wall into a colorful story.

About The Streets of India: Murals & Public Art
My mural process isn't about picking a design off a shelf; it's about the connection between the wall and the people who see it every day. Whether it is an indoor feature wall in your apartment or a high-traffic area in a cafe, I use heavy-body, professional-grade acrylics that are weather-resistant and vibrant. We start with a conversation to understand the story you want to tell, then I sketch a vision that flows with your space rather than just being placed on it.
Every mural I paint is a mix of intuition and technique. When we work together, I take into account the architectural features of your space—the corners, the lighting, and the texture of your wall, whether it is raw brick, concrete, or smooth plaster.
My Mural Process
- Discovery: We start with a discussion about your space. You tell me the vibe—is it a tribute to nature, an abstract representation of your journey, or something inspired by our Indian heritage? I listen to the story you want to tell first.
- Execution: I prefer an intuitive approach. I don't use strict templates, which means the final piece often has a life and energy that a computer-generated mock-up cannot replicate. I love working with the texture of the surface to make the art feel like it belongs to the room.
- Durability: I finish every mural with a double coat of non-yellowing, professional varnish to protect against UV rays and dust. This ensures your piece stays vibrant, whether it is in a sunny living room or a bustling commercial space.
- Location: My 'Travel & Paint' tour isn't just a project name; I am happy to travel across India to transform your wall into a canvas.
If you have a wall that feels too quiet, let's fill it with color and meaning.

I’m Sneha, and I believe every wall has a story waiting to be told. I didn't want a desk job, so I took my brushes and started painting the soul of India onto public and private walls. Let's create something that breathes life into your space.
