Custom Hand-Painted Commissions and Collaborations

For all commissions, I work directly with you to plan the design before I pick up the brush. Since I do not use computers, every detail—from the 3D typography styles to the complex floral borders—is drawn by hand. Please have your reference text or specific phrases ready when we connect so I can plan the layout effectively.

Whether you are looking for a commemorative memorial piece or a custom sign for your business, my process remains the same: pure, hand-painted craftsmanship. When clients approach me for collaborations, we begin by discussing the message, the cultural context, and the desired mood. I specialize in intricate Urdu, Hindi, English, Arabic, and Farsi calligraphy, often blending them with vibrant Indian truck art motifs like peacocks and floral creepers.

The Art of Collaboration

Unlike digital printing, which can feel flat, hand-painting allows for unique layering and texture that stands out in any space. For projects like the tribute to the late Hanif Kureshi, I used bold 3D lettering and symbolic imagery to capture the essence of his life and work. For international clients like Curiosity Lab in the USA, I adapted my signature truck art aesthetic to fit their specific requirements, ensuring the final piece felt both globally relevant and authentically rooted in my Old Delhi studio.

Practical Details

I work primarily with oil-based synthetic enamel paints on durable substrates. These pieces are built to last, whether you plan to display them indoors or outdoors. Because I focus on hand-mixed colors and custom sketching, each project is a one-of-a-kind creation. If you have a specific vision—perhaps a Bollywood movie poster style or traditional calligraphy for a family home—share it with me. I can translate your ideas into a finished commission that serves as a vibrant, permanent feature.
