ESTIMATESAbout Fine Art & Commissioned Paintings
What Drives Me
Art is action. I believe in kaam karte raho (just keep working) - no excuses, just discovery and dedication. My years at Sir J. J. School of Art laid the groundwork for how I approach every piece, whether it's a commissioned portrait or a big conceptual painting.
What I Paint
I make commissioned portraits in oils - these aren't just faces, they're personalities. If you want a custom oil portrait painting, I can work from your photos or even live sittings, whatever suits you. Landscapes and Mumbai cityscape paintings are a big part of my work too. I love capturing places, especially with watercolours or acrylics, to get that play of light and vibe.
Sometimes I go big - literally. Large scale conceptual artwork is my jam, especially if you want something that says more than just looks pretty. My piece, 'Knitting her thoughts', is one example of that scale and depth.
How I Work
My process is a mix of discipline and gut feeling. Kabhi kabhi (sometimes), I jump straight onto the canvas with no sketch, letting things evolve. That’s where the real fun is. For portraits, I’m very particular about accuracy - high-quality photos help, but live sittings are a different energy.
Mediums & Techniques
I use oils for texture and longevity, acrylics for versatility, and watercolours when I want atmosphere. Bold brushwork and impasto give my paintings their depth. If you want something huge for your wall, I’m comfortable going up to 7 feet and more. Usme hi maza hai (that's where the joy is).

My Story
Hi, Sanket here. I did my graduation and post-graduation in portraiture at Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai. "Wahi sab kuch seekha." My English-speaking friends, our "broken angrezi", and our growing group, that's how I grew. Outside college, I wander. Hampi, Lepakshi, old stones and Vijayanagara history end up in my work. MFA done, but sketching and painting won't stop. "Yeh safar chalta rahega."
My Work
Painting & Portrait Services - I paint portraits, landscapes and realistic work, and take custom portrait commissions. Oil, acrylic, watercolor, sab chalta hai.
Live Painting Demonstration - I do live painting demonstration at events, festivals. Big canvas or tiny sketchbook, I’m up for it.
European Antique Fusion - Mixing European antique forms with Indian models, my art is a blend. I let the work speak.
Spontaneous Watercolor Study - Sometimes I skip pre-sketches and paint straight, keeping things fresh and intuitive.
Personal & Commercial Practice - Commercial kaam chalu hai (commercial work is on), but my personal practice never stops.
Conceptual Commissions - I start with drawings and sketches, then the final painting. Price depends on the reference and size.
