About Building Elevation & Exterior Design
My Approach
Naan vandhu oru vishayam romba strong-a namburen (I believe this deeply): my talent is my investment, and this art is my bread and butter. For me, namma tholil dhaan namakku kadavul (our work itself is God). I sculpt stories out of cement, not just walls.
What I Do
I’m a cement artist working hands-on at your spot. I design and sculpt building elevation and exterior features - wet cement, straight on your wall, no shortcuts. Everything is hand-sculpted, whether you want a grand mural or just some fine details.
- 3D exterior wall sculpture
- Custom cement mural elevation

Process
- Sketching direct on the wall with chalk or pencil
- Layering and sculpting wet cement by hand

Designs & Themes
You dream it, I shape it. Designs I’ve done range from spiritual icons, village scenes, and nature (elephants, trees, peacocks), to quirky stuff like cartoon characters and vintage cars. House name sculpting is also a fav.
Where You’ll Find Me
Mostly working across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. My work takes me places.
Real Talk
Oor aayiram sollum (People will always talk), but I just stick to my craft. Honest work, no drama. My art speaks for me.

My Story
Namma seiyyara tholil dhaan namakku kadavul (the work we do is our God). Every building site, under the burning sun, adhu dhaan enaku koyil (that’s my temple). Some days, kadisi varai nikkiren (I stand till the end). This is my vaalvaadhaaram (livelihood), art is never free. I work, I stand, I win or lose, but I never stop. People talk, but I just keep sculpting. That’s my way.
