Custom Portrait Commissions: Hand-Painted Art
I turn your stories into stylized, expressive portraits. Whether it is a meaningful gift or a piece for your wall, we will work together to capture your unique vibe in my signature art style.
I offer custom stylized portraits to capture your unique personality in my signature art style. This is a great way to get a one-of-a-kind piece of art, whether it's for you or as a gift for someone special.
This was my first commissioned portrait painting, titled "You and I." It was a special piece to work on, and it represents the kind of personal, meaningful art I can create for you.
This is a stylized self-portrait I did to experiment with the gouache medium. It shows the kind of vibrant, illustrative style I can bring to a custom portrait.
Here's a look at the self-portrait in my sketchbook, alongside the gouache paints I used. This style is available for custom commissions.

About this collection
My portraits aren't about achieving a hyper-realistic replica. I focus on capturing your essence through bold color choices and stylized brushwork, often playing with abstract features and narrative symbolism. If you have a specific mood or memory in mind, let me know, and we can figure out the perfect medium to bring it to life.
When you commission a portrait, you aren't just getting a drawing. You are getting a piece of art that translates your story into my visual language. I work with a range of mediums to match the vibe of the subject. Whether it is the fluid nature of watercolors, the opaque punch of gouache, or the textured, layered depth of acrylics, we will pick the one that fits best.
The process starts with a conversation about what you are looking for. I am not about standard likenesses; I love incorporating narrative symbolism and playing with non-traditional palettes—yes, that means bold blues and striking contrasts if that is what the piece needs.
I use high-quality materials to ensure your art lasts. Paper commissions are done on 300 GSM acid-free paper to prevent yellowing, while my textured canvas works are created using an impasto technique with palette knives for that 3D feel. Every piece is hand-signed and ready for your walls. Whether you are in Bengaluru or elsewhere in India, I use reinforced, heavy-duty packaging so your art arrives in perfect condition. Let’s create something that feels like you.
