It still feels unreal that I got to create this piece for Amitabh Bachchan and his daughter, Shweta. My dad presented it to him, and he even signed a copy for me! This hand-cut portrait captures a special father-daughter bond, a theme that's really close to my heart.
The pure joy on Liza Koshy's face says it all! I made this custom portrait of her and her mom as a last-minute birthday gift, and her reaction was just everything. Seeing someone this happy with my art is why I do what I do.
Here is the finished, framed portrait I created for the iconic Carnatic musicians, Ranjani and Gayatri. I love how the clean lines and details look in a simple black floating frame, making the art the complete focus.
This is a look at a portrait for singer Hariharan's mother, Smt. Alamelu, right after the cutting was done. You can see my craft knife and the tiny paper pieces left behind from the detailed, manual work.
What a precious moment. Here is the incredible Smt. Alamelu, mother of Hariharan sir, holding the custom paper-cut portrait I made for her. I'm so grateful for these opportunities to create meaningful gifts.
I was so excited to meet the amazing Vidya Balan and present her with this custom portrait. She was so warm and appreciative, and it was a moment I'll never forget.
A super close-up look at the intricate details in the portrait for Liza Koshy. Every single line is carefully cut by hand to capture the unique features and expressions from the original photograph.

About Custom Paper-Cut Portraits

A Little Bit of Magic

I turn your favorite photos into hand-cut silhouette art, using just paper and my craft knife. It’s not just about cutting shapes - I try to catch the vibe, the emotion, the tiny details that make a person who they are. Sometimes, I get lost in the process and forget the world around me.

What You Get

  • Super detailed, custom paper portraits from your pics
  • Each piece is cut by hand, not machine, so it’s got that raw, personal feel
  • I’ve made portraits for legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Madan Mohan’s family - still feels unreal, yaar (buddy)
  • Perfect for gifting, tributes, or just celebrating someone you love

Personal Touches

  • Want to add something special? I can include things like a guitar, a flower, or even a quirky pattern
  • You can pick the color - classic white, bold red, whatever suits your mood

How It Comes

  • Your portrait arrives framed, usually in a floating frame with glass on both sides
  • The cuts cast cool shadows on your wall, making the whole thing pop

If you need it fast, I’ve done last-minute pieces in just 6 hours - but honestly, I prefer taking my time to get every detail right. It’s delicate work, but that’s what makes it feel real.

My Story

Hey, Smriti here! Started snipping paper in 2020, stuck at home, nowhere to go - so I made the world out of paper instead. Taj Mahal, Colosseum, all with my trusty knife. Wildest thing? Saw one of those places for real later! Oh, and making a portrait for Big B and his daughter - my dad was over the moon about it. Art really does connect people, na? Grateful, always.

My Work

What I make - Custom paper portraits, handmade floral bookmarks, lotus frames - anything you dream up, I’ll try cutting it!

All hand-cut, all me - I do every bit by hand. Sometimes it’s quick, sometimes it takes days, but always with love.

Special gifts for special folks - My personalised paper art gifts have made it to celebs and music legends. Makes for a unique memory.
