## About Blood Art Portraits

### My Art, My Emotion

Appreciating art is personal, but Blood Art Portraits take it up a notch. I’m Ravish, a self-taught *Karunadina Kalavida* (Kannada artist), and for me, every painting is about emotion. I use a small, safely collected sample of your own blood to create a portrait that’s literally a piece of you.

### How It Works

- Blood is drawn by a trained medical pro - not by me. Always clean and safe.
- I use your blood as my ink, working from a photo you share. Gloves on, equipment sterile, no shortcuts.
- The finished piece is framed and ready for you to keep.

### Why Choose a Blood Art Portrait?

- Couples love it as a unique love token art. It’s a wild way to say, “You’re part of me.”
- Families come for emotional keepsake paintings, especially siblings (*anna-tangi*) and parents.
- Best friends (*kuchikkuu*) and even die-hard fans have asked for custom blood-based artwork of their idols.
- Memorial portrait with blood is the most touching - for those wanting to remember someone who’s gone, using a living family member’s blood.

### What Drives Me

Seeing people react - smiling, tearing up, hugging the portrait - that’s my fuel. *Avarige khushi padisona antha* (Making them happy) is what keeps me going.

### My story

Namaste, I’m Ravish Harikantra. People call me ‘Karunadina Kalavida’—I wear that name with pride. I’m not trained in any fancy art school, just learnt by doing. I love sketching people I meet—ajji selling mangoes, petrol bunk guys, kabaddi boys. That mugdha nagu (innocent smile) they give after seeing their sketch, that’s my purpose. Sometimes, folks come with big stories—lost fathers, old memories. My art tries to bring back those moments. Nanna kalege sanda ee gaurava... (This honour my art has received...) stays with me. I just want to spread happiness.

### My work

- **Art Styles I Do**: Blood art portraits, scribble art, leaf carving, charcoal sketches, digital art, and speed painting for events.
- **Live Sketches for Strangers**: I sketch people on the spot, just to see them smile. Not for sale, just for joy.
- **Blood Art for Memories**: Some ask me to paint with their blood—love that lasts, memories that stay. Very emotional work.
- **Custom Portraits on Order**: Anniversaries, birthdays, lost family—send me your photo, even old or blurry, I’ll make it real.
