About 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 award-winning 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).
