About Spiritual & Divine Art
Whether it is the powerful gaze of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj or the serenity of Lord Ram, I paint to bring a sense of divinity into your living space. When you commission a piece, we start with a consultation to choose the perfect reference photo, ensuring the final canvas reflects both the sacred subject and your personal connection to it.
My Approach to Spiritual Art
My work is a vinamra chitra abhivadan (humble artistic tribute) to our culture. I specialize in acrylics on canvas, blending realistic detailing with deep, emotional color palettes to create pieces that feel alive. I treat every canvas as an offering, ensuring the final work resonates with the sanctity of the subject.
The Commission Process
I ensure every commission is treated with the care it deserves.
- Consultation: We begin with a one-hour discussion to select a reference that resonates with you.
- Approval: You review the digital composition and the initial layout sketch before I begin the final painting.
- Finishing: Every piece is finished with a UV-resistant varnish to ensure longevity, and stretched on a treated pine frame, making it ready to hang the moment it arrives.
Why Commission Original Art
Unlike prints, original canvas paintings possess a unique depth. I use impasto techniques to add texture, giving figures like Prabhu Ram or Shiva a presence that changes as the light in your room shifts throughout the day. Whether you are looking for a commemorative portrait, a scene from the Ramayana, or a tribute to historical figures, I dedicate myself to capturing the soul of the subject. All commissions include a Certificate of Authenticity and a provenance document, ensuring your piece is well-documented.
