Live Speed Painting and Portrait Artist

I turn blank canvases into live performances. Whether it is a high-energy speed painting for your event or instant sketches that bring a smile, my art is about capturing emotion as it happens.

My live speed painting is a performance. In just under eight minutes, I bring a canvas to life with energy and passion, creating a memorable spectacle for any event. This piece captures the powerful spirit of Kantara, a theme that resonates deeply with our culture.

The real reward of my art is seeing a moment of pure happiness on someone's face. I sketched this ajji selling mangoes, and her joyful reaction is why I do what I do. It's about connecting with people through art.

This is my tribute to the legend, Puneeth Rajkumar. Creating portraits of beloved icons live on stage is my way of honoring their legacy and sharing that moment with the audience. It's a powerful experience for everyone involved.

Art creates connections. I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the home of Bigg Boss winner and folk singer Hanumanthanna to personally deliver a portrait. His warm welcome and genuine appreciation for my work was truly humbling.

A live performance is more than just painting; it's about the energy of the stage and the crowd. This collage shows the process and the final reveal of my Kantara speed painting at the Ankola Utsava, a performance completed in less than 8 minutes.

Even a simple sketch can bring a smile. I captured this moment with a vendor on the beach at sunset, and his happy reaction made the evening special. Art can find beauty and create peace anywhere.

I was honored to be featured on News18 Kannada, where I shared my journey as a young artist from Ankola. The feature covered my various art styles, from live speed painting to my unique leaf carving art.

Receiving this award was a memorable moment in my journey. This recognition for my art, especially for my tribute to Appu sir, inspires me to continue pushing my creative boundaries.

About Featured

When I perform, I am not just painting. For stage speed paintings, I need a simple setup: a sturdy wooden easel, good stage focus lights, and a sound system for my backing track. For live portrait sketching, I can either roam among your guests to capture candid moments or sit at a designated spot. Every piece, from 3x4 ft canvases to A4 sketches, happens right in front of your eyes.
