I create art that connects. From live event paintings to sculptures made of soil, this collection is a look at the stories I have brought to life through different mediums.

I love capturing the energy of a special day as it unfolds. This is a time-lapse of a live painting I did at a wedding reception, creating a unique piece of memorabilia for the couple to cherish forever.

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.

I find so much joy in giving old items a new life. Here, I'm transforming a pair of worn-out canvas shoes into wearable art with an ocean wave design, blending my love for painting and sustainability.

This interactive portrait of the Joker, titled 'Hidden in Plain Sight', explores the masks we wear. Viewing the painting through the red filter reveals the man behind the makeup, inviting a conversation about mental health.

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.

A simple tote bag becomes a canvas for a quick, minimalistic painting. This is an example of how I create functional, everyday art that you can carry with you.

Your story can be told in many ways. For this couple's engagement, I designed a custom digital invitation that animated their journey, complete with personalized illustrations and a touch of floral magic.

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 Featured

When you commission a piece, I don't just ask what you want painted. We start with a conversation about the memory or feeling you are trying to capture. Whether it is a portrait painted with coffee, a live sketch at your reception, or an upcycled decor piece, I aim to create something that feels like a shared secret between us. My process involves one rough draft, where we work out the kinks together, before I move to final execution on archival paper or canvas.

I'm Madhuri. I believe art shouldn't be hidden behind 'do not touch' signs, so I make pieces you can play with, wear, or experience. I’m self-taught, which means I skip the rigid rules and focus on turning your stories and discarded materials into something meaningful.

This piece, 'The Reality of the Cosmos,' is one of my deepest dives into narrative art.

It’s a perfect example of how I use painting to make sense of big, abstract concepts.7
I love creating portraits that stand out, and this piece is all about that energy.

I call this piece 'The Rustic Road.' Using texture paste, sand, and earthy pigments, I wanted to capture the feeling of a weathered, untamed path.
