About this collection
Unlike digital prints, every family portrait I create is a slow process of layering oil or acrylic to capture your specific bhav, or emotion. Whether it is combining separate photos of loved ones into one frame or rendering a grand anniversary portrait, I work directly with you to ensure the subjects and the setting feel authentic. It takes time—often requiring 15 to 25 days for oil drying—but the final piece is crafted to remain in your family for generations.
When you commission a family heirloom, you are investing in a physical memory. My approach differs from standard portraiture because I treat the canvas as a vessel for your family’s story. For clients looking to merge separate photographs—perhaps a loved one who has passed or family members living in different cities—my legacy reconstruction service blends these images into a cohesive, large-scale oil painting.
My studio in Paschim Vihar handles everything from concept to the final, Italian-style frame. For smaller milestones, I offer realistic charcoal and graphite sketches on acid-free paper, perfect for intimate gifting. If you prefer the depth of color, my signature mixed-media portraits combine watercolor bases with Polychromos detailing to ensure a vibrant finish. I believe that an heirloom shouldn't just look like the subject; it must capture the energy and history of the moment.
