## 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.

### My work

- **Paintings & Sculptures**: Divine Krishna painting, Portraits, Oil & Acrylic, Tanjore, Indian Folk Art, Wall Art, Blood Portrait art, Sculptures.
- **Art is Bhakti**: Har painting meri arpan hai Thakur Ji ko. Positive aura, energy, sadhana se aati hai.
- **No Shortcuts, Only Soul**: Baariki pe kaam, detailing, handmade ka asli value hai. 3 ghante waale kaam nahi karta.
- **Custom Family Portrait Canvas**: Aapke photos ko combine karke ek timeless memory banata hoon, bilkul personalized.
