About

I’m Varun, balancing my life between code and canvas. Art’s always been my escape — never got into art school, but I taught myself, bit by bit. It’s not perfect, and sometimes the lines go wonky, but that’s part of the charm.

What I Do

I make custom portraits and caricatures. Real smiles, weird expressions, special moments — I try to catch those in every piece. My favorite thing? Seeing someone light up when they see themselves as art.

• Family, couple, pet, or tribute - if you’ve got a photo that means something to you, I’ll turn it into a keepsake.
• I work with color pencils, acrylics, digital tools, and even ceramic plates. Want your family as a cartoon or your dog in acrylic? I’m up for it.

Pick Your Style

• Color pencil portraits for those tiny details (great for kids’ smiles or expressive eyes)
• Digital caricature artwork if you want something quirky or Insta-worthy
• Pet painting commissions to capture your furry buddy’s vibe
• Portraits on ceramic plates for something nobody else probably has

How It Works

You send me your photo, we chat about style, and I get to work. I can mix things up — like blend photos or add something personal. I ship from Bangalore, but I’ve sent stuff to Germany, so distance isn’t a problem.

If you want art that feels personal and real, I’d love to work with you.
