Hand-Painted Glass Art & Custom Upcycled Bottles
Transform everyday glass into vibrant, light-catching art. I use traditional folk patterns and nature-inspired motifs to turn windows and bottles into unique, glowing pieces for your home.
This custom glass painting was designed for a penthouse terrace window, bringing a flock of tropical birds indoors. It shows how art can be integrated directly into your home's architecture, creating a unique, light-filled feature.

About Art on Glass & Upcycled Bottles
Painting on glass is a delicate balance compared to canvas or paper. It requires a steady hand because glass is an unforgiving medium. I use high-pigment, transparent paints to ensure that when natural light hits these pieces—whether a window installation or a decorative bottle—they glow with a stained-glass effect that shifts and changes throughout the day.
How I Work with Glass
Unlike painting on paper, glass requires specific preparation to ensure the paint adheres well and stays vibrant. My glass art typically falls into two categories: architectural accents and decorative upcycled bottles.
For architectural glass, like the terrace window installation, I work with the light source in mind. We determine where the sun hits the glass so that the colours, often inspired by Pichwai or Gond traditions, really pop. For bottles, I love the experimental side. I treat each bottle as a canvas for abstraction, using dot-art or landscape themes to breathe new life into discarded glass.
Custom Art Process
Most of my work is made-to-order. If you have an empty window pane, a glass door, or even a favourite bottle, we can discuss the design together. I blend traditional Indian styles—like the fine lines of Madhubani or the symbolic nature motifs of Gond—with modern colour palettes.
A few things to note:
- Subjects: I paint nature, animals (my 'Moo Project' cows are a favourite!), and floral patterns.
- The No-Face Rule: I do not paint human faces. It is the one creative boundary I hold firm.
- Longevity: Every piece is finished with protective techniques to ensure your art stays vibrant, whether it's displayed indoors or in a sunny spot.
I am based in Bengaluru and can deliver locally, but I frequently ship my glass art and painted bottles to clients across India and internationally to the US, Germany, and Singapore.
