Hand-Painted Upcycled Bottle Art
I take discarded glass bottles and give them a second life with vibrant, hand-painted designs. From stained-glass sunlight catchers to bold, opaque folk art, every bottle is a unique piece of decor for your home 🌿.
Here is another view of the three wise monkeys bottle art set. The bright turquoise background makes the figures pop, and each bottle tells a part of the story.
This floral bottle was a completely spontaneous creation. I just let the brush flow, and this design with a pink and purple gradient background emerged. The white flowers have delicate 3D details.
A closer look at the spontaneous floral bottle art. You can see the texture and the little details on the leaves and petals that make the design stand out.
I love experimenting with themes, and this set is inspired by desert and island landscapes. One bottle features abstract, layered patterns like desert hills, while the other shows a cactus scene against a starry night.
This bottle combines my love for yoga and traditional patterns. A silhouette of the tree pose (Vrikshasana) is set against a bright yellow background, with decorative bands of Indian motifs below.
Using glass paints, I created this underwater scene with orange koi fish swimming among lily pads. The transparent quality of the paint makes it feel like you're peering into a little pond.
Another angle of the koi fish bottle, showing how the light passes through the blue and purple water patterns. It’s a perfect piece for a sunny windowsill.
This bottle is a celebration of a colorful garden, filled with bright flowers and butterflies. I used glass paints to keep it transparent, creating a cheerful, light-filled decorative piece.
A different view of the garden-themed bottle, highlighting the delicate dragonflies and orange flowers. This piece was a custom order that I sent all the way to Singapore.
This design features orange Kanakambari flowers and blue dragonflies on a clear bottle, creating a beautiful stained-glass effect. I love the contrast between the warm orange and cool blue tones.
About Upcycled Bottle Art
Every bottle I pick up starts as 'kabaad' (junk) that gets a second life in my studio. I don't just paint on them; I seal each piece with multiple layers of high-gloss varnish so they are durable enough to sit on your windowsill or serve as a dry flower vase. Because they are hand-painted, they aren't dishwasher safe, so a gentle wipe is all the cleaning they need to keep them looking fresh.
My Approach to Bottle Art
I work with two distinct styles to bring these bottles to life. If you love the way sunlight changes a room, I use glass paints to create a translucent, stained-glass effect. These look incredible on a windowsill where the light can pass through. If you prefer something bold, I use opaque acrylics to create rich, detailed scenes featuring Indian folk art motifs like Gond, Madhubani, or my own abstract patterns.
Customization & Process
Most of my work is made-to-order. Since I'm an architect, I appreciate structure but I also love letting my hand flow freely, especially with floral or landscape themes. If you have a specific color scheme in your room, I can match it. Just let me know what theme you have in mind. I do have one rule though—I don't draw faces, but I will happily paint everything else from monkeys and peacocks to desert scenes and mandalas 🐒.
Durability
I ensure every bottle is fully varnished to prevent chipping. While they are resilient enough to handle daily life in your home, please keep in mind these are decorative art pieces. Avoid harsh scrubbing or putting them in the dishwasher. A simple wipe with a soft, dry cloth is the best way to maintain the finish.
I ship these globally, so whether you are here in Bengaluru or halfway across the world, your piece will reach you safely.
