About

Painting is my way of exploring ideas that stick in my head. Every piece I make is about something—fear, truth, duality, memories. Sometimes it's a snake and plastic wrap, sometimes a sapling cracking through a stone. It's not just about making something pretty for the wall. I want you to look at a painting and feel something, or even question it.

What I Can Make For You

• If you want a surrealist conceptual painting that digs deeper than the surface, that's my sweet spot. I love putting stories and symbols into my work.
• For realistic custom portraits, I pay a lot of attention to the tiny stuff—skin, eyes, the mood in someone’s face. It’s about capturing more than a photo ever could.
• If you’re into mythology, I like mixing old Indian stories with a modern, sometimes trippy vibe. Think Radha and Krishna but in bold colours and new settings.

My Process

My architect brain makes me obsessed with strong foundations. I start with a basic sketch or monochrome underpainting to get the lights and shadows right. Oil and acrylic are my main tools, but I mix things up with other materials if the idea calls for it. I use layers and fine details so the final piece has real depth.

How We Work Together

You bring the idea—maybe just a feeling, maybe a full story. We chat, maybe swap some reference photos or doodles. I'll keep you in the loop as I paint, so what you get in the end is something that feels truly yours.
