About

Art, for me, is about feelings. I want every portrait to carry a bit of someone's story, not just their face. When people see their loved one’s smile in my work - avaru mukhudalli iruvantaha nagu (that smile on their face) - that's what keeps me going.

What I Can Create for You

  • Personalized memorial portraits, especially when you have only old, damaged, or even barely-there photos. Sometimes, I work with a lookalike or a blurry snap to imagine someone who's no longer with us.
  • Custom family portrait artwork for anniversaries, birthdays, or just to freeze a happy moment in time.
  • I do all my work by hand, starting from any photo you have - even if it's a tiny wallet pic or a faded digital image.

My Signature Styles

  • Classic pencil & charcoal for deep, soulful black-and-white.
  • Scribble art, if you want something modern and lively.
  • Color pencil if you want those memories in bright, happy shades.
  • Ballpoint pen for a detailed, unique finish.

About Me

I'm just a Karunadina Kalavida (artist from Karnataka) from Ankola, drawing since I was a kid. Self-taught, inspired by my mom, and always excited to turn your memories into something you can hold on to.

My Story

Namaste, I’m Ravish Harikantra. People call me ‘Karunadina Kalavida’—I wear that name with pride. I’m not trained in any fancy art school, just learnt by doing. I love sketching people I meet—ajji selling mangoes, petrol bunk guys, kabaddi boys. That mugdha nagu (innocent smile) they give after seeing their sketch, that’s my purpose. Sometimes, folks come with big stories—lost fathers, old memories. My art tries to bring back those moments. Nanna kalege sanda ee gaurava... (This honour my art has received...) stays with me. I just want to spread happiness.

My Work

Art Styles I Do - Blood art portraits, scribble art, leaf carving, charcoal sketches, digital art, and speed painting for events.

Live Sketches for Strangers - I sketch people on the spot, just to see them smile. Not for sale, just for joy.

Blood Art for Memories - Some ask me to paint with their blood—love that lasts, memories that stay. Very emotional work.

Custom Portraits on Order - Anniversaries, birthdays, lost family—send me your photo, even old or blurry, I’ll make it real.
