About Portrait Painting & Sketching
I don't treat painting like a business. For me, art is seva (service) and sadhana (spiritual practice). Each portrait I make is a little bit of my soul on canvas, not just another order.
What I Offer
- Handmade custom portraits: solo, couple, or family, perfect for milestones and family heirlooms
- Memorial painting from old photos: I can recreate loved ones from faded pictures or combine people from separate photos into one frame
- Leaders, dignitaries, VVIPs: official or personal portraits, dignified and expressive
- Pet portraits: your furry friends can be a part of your family sketch too
How I Work
- I paint only by appointment so I can give every piece my full samarpan (dedication)
- I use oil, acrylic, pencil & charcoal, colour pencil, and even Tanjore painting with gold foil for that traditional touch
- My signature style is a mixed media family sketch, blending pencil, watercolour, and acrylic for something really vibrant
- I try to capture not just the face, but the bhav (emotion) and story behind every person
If you want something that's more than just a picture, and you're okay with a process that takes time and heart, then you're in the right place.

My Story
Namaste, main Rajan Maluja hoon. Bachpan se brush haath mein aur Krishna bhakti dil mein, yahi meri pehchaan hai. Gayatri Ma’am ne kala ki raah dikhayi, maa-bapu ne hausla diya. Angaaron par chala hoon, phoolon par bhi. Aaj jo bhi hoon, sab Prabhu ki kripa hai. Kala meri tapasya hai, naam mila - aalochna bhi sahi, Rashtrapati ji se samman bhi. Ye safar asaan nahi tha, par asli hai.
