About Monochrome Portrait Painting
Monochrome Portrait Painting
I specialize in creating monochrome portraits using soft pastels, focusing on capturing depth and textures through black and white tones. Each portrait is crafted with attention to detail, emphasizing emotional expression and character.
What Makes This Unique
My dual background as a classical musician influences my artistic perspective, bringing rhythm and harmony to visual compositions. I pay particular attention to light and shadow interplay, creating dramatic contrasts in my portraits.
Ideal For
- Art collectors interested in expressive monochrome works
- Individuals seeking personally meaningful portrait art
- Those who appreciate the subtlety of black and white aesthetic
Additional Details
I work primarily with soft pastels on quality paper, creating portraits that range from intimate to statement pieces. My style combines traditional portraiture techniques with contemporary artistic elements.

My Story
Namaskar, I’m Onkar. Tabla is my heartbeat, but I also pick up a paintbrush now and then – helps me focus, you know? Most days, I’m a student first, learning from Pt. Yogesh Samsi ji. That Guru-shishya bond, it’s my anchor. If I’m not deep in riyaz or on stage, I’m probably somewhere up in the mountains, or just lost in thought about random things. Keeps life interesting.
My Work
Tabla Performances - I play solo tabla recitals, join Indian classical music accompaniment, and perform at festivals or cozy baithak concerts.
My Style & Training - Learnt in the Punjab Gharana tabla tradition, under Pt. Yogesh Samsi ji, but always exploring new compositions.
Collaborations - Love jamming and learning with other artists – that’s where the fun and growth really happens.
