My Artistic Journey and Creative Process
Take a look at the sketches, paintings, and VFX projects that define my work. This is where my passion meets the canvas. 🎨🖌️
This is me, surrounded by a collage of my artworks. From hyper-realistic objects and wildlife to cultural icons and celebrity portraits, each piece represents a part of my artistic journey.
About My Artistic Journey
I never went to art school. Every piece you see here is the result of years spent with a sketchbook, plenty of trial and error, and an obsession with tiny details. Whether I am sketching a portrait or painting a cultural scene, the goal is always to make the viewer pause and look twice. 🎨
Everything started with a pencil and a lot of curiosity in namma Udupi. Since I am self-taught, my process is entirely hands-on. I do not take shortcuts. If I am working on a hyper-realistic charcoal portrait, I spend hours layering gradients to get the skin texture just right. If I am doing a miniature painting on a river stone, I use fine-liner brushes and seal it with epoxy for that permanent wet look.
My work is deeply rooted in my heritage. You will notice a recurring theme of Yakshagana and Daivaradhane in my paintings. These are not just images, but my way of keeping the culture of Tulunad alive through art. I also enjoy the challenge of my 'Click and Draw' series, where I recreate everyday objects or currency notes to test my precision.
My studio in Arekere, Bengaluru, is where these experiments turn into finished pieces. I work with diverse mediums, including graphite, charcoal, acrylics, and digital vector art. Whether it is an A3 charcoal sketch or a large-scale 24x30 inch acrylic canvas, I ensure every detail is captured. If you are looking for a piece that feels personal, or something that brings a slice of my home culture to your wall, I am happy to discuss your ideas. 🙏
