I use high-gloss synthetic enamel paints and layers of shading to give letters that classic 3D pop often seen on old-school Indian cinema hoardings. When you commission a piece, you are not just getting a sign—you are getting a weather-resistant piece of art that carries the authentic texture of brush strokes, not the sterile precision of a vinyl print. My work is rooted in the traditional sign-painting techniques of Old Delhi, where the skill of the hand decides the quality of the art. I work with a variety of scripts, including Devanagari (Hindi), Urdu, English, and Farsi. Each project begins with a focus on layout and composition, followed by the careful application of enamel paint that is built up to create depth and contrast. ### Why Choose Hand-Painted Signage? Unlike digital signage, hand-painted art ages with character. I use medium-grain cotton canvas, plywood, or wall surfaces depending on your needs. For outdoor signs, I apply a clear varnish coat to protect the enamel from sun and dust, ensuring the colors remain vibrant. ### Customization Options - **Typography:** I can match various styles, from bold retro block lettering to intricate calligraphic scripts. - **Visual Elements:** I often incorporate traditional motifs, such as floral flourishes or stylized borders, to add a personal touch to your sign. - **Versatility:** Whether you need a small cafe menu, a large-scale wall mural, or a decorative piece for your home, I scale my technique to fit the surface. I handle the entire process from my studio in Old Delhi and can ship your completed artwork to any location in India or internationally. ## About Kafeel Artist I am Kafeel, an artist based in Old Delhi, working with brush techniques passed down through generations.
