About

I don't see art as something distant or precious. For me, it's an open invitation. Whether you want to colour on the walls like a kid or get hands-on with something unexpected, my work is about breaking old rules and making art a real part of life.

What I Offer

I design custom murals and art installations that fit your story and your space. You'll find my style leans into earthy, minimal, and floral touches, but I love mixing it up. Sometimes the artwork even wraps around corners - feels like the walls are hugging you. I've done interactive murals for homes, offices, and schools, where you might decode secret messages, flip panels, or use a red filter to reveal hidden layers. It's not just about looking, it's about playing.

Art That Gives Back

Sustainability is a big deal for me. I use scrap fabric, old cassette tapes, coffee waste, even bins and cement. Stuff most people chuck out gets turned into new stories. My sustainable art installations and large-scale public murals often tackle real issues, like Bangalore's water crisis, and I get local communities, volunteers, and kids involved in the process.

How We Work Together

We start with a chat about your ideas and space. Then we co-create a design - could be detailed or just a vibe. Finally, I bring it all to life. I’m based in Bangalore but travel for projects, making community art projects happen wherever they’re needed.
