A client wanted to immortalize a precious memory in Goa. Using watercolors, I recreated the serene coastal view, turning their personal moment into a piece of art for their home.

A portrait can be more than just paint on paper. This piece, created for a coffee lover, uses actual coffee to paint a tender moment with their beloved pet, making the artwork truly personal.

This sculpture, 'Dirty Fertility', is made from soil and explores the connection between Mother Earth and the taboos surrounding female fertility. It's a piece that asks us to reconsider what we label as 'dirty' and what we hold sacred.

About Custom Art Commissions

How I Approach Custom Art

For me, art is all about connection and play. I love working with you to turn a memory, a wild idea, or a personal story into something real - whether that's a painting for your wall or something you can actually use every day.

What I Create

Personalised Portrait Painting & Custom Pet Illustration: I do portraits of people and pets, either realistic or with a twist. Got a favourite photo or a special memory? I can capture that vibe on paper or canvas.
Landscapes & Cityscapes: If you want the Bengaluru skyline, your grandma's old house, or even the local chai shop painted, just let me know. I like adding little touches that make it feel truly yours.
Hand-painted Event Memorabilia: Live painting at weddings or events is something I really enjoy. It's fast, messy, and always captures the energy of the day.
Upcycled Art Decor: I also make art out of stuff others throw away - old bags, shoes, even scrap wood. Sometimes it’s a table, sometimes a wall mural, sometimes a quirky tote. Makes for pretty cool, eco-friendly art commissions.

My Process

We always start with a chat. You share your idea or story, and we figure out the best way to bring it to life. I use everything from watercolours and acrylics to digital tools or even coffee - whatever fits your story. Based in Bangalore, but I ship everywhere.

I’m not about perfection, just about making something that matters to you.

My Story

Hi, I’m Madhuri. I never liked those 'do not touch' signs in art galleries – so I make art you can play with. I’m self-taught, so rules? Nah, I prefer messy creativity. I use discarded stuff like cassette tapes, coffee grounds, cycle rims – turning junk into stories. Sometimes projects flop, sometimes they sing. I care about mental health too, making art a safe place for feelings. Painting bins with a friend, laughing, that’s my kind of magic.

My Work

Custom Art Installations & Commissions - I make interactive art installations for cafes, homes, events, plus unique upcycled paintings and commissions.

Upcycled Art Workshops & Retreats - Join me for workshops using cassette tapes, coffee, clay, fluid art – hands-on, sustainable, and playful.

Interactive Murals & Soundscapes - Touch, play, help create giant coloring book walls or sound installations from vinyls. Creativity for everyone.

Art for Mental Health & Community - My art talks about wellbeing, emotions, and connection. Workshops or murals, it’s about healing and expression.
