This poignant portrait by artist Renjit captures the raw emotion and deep connection between two young boys. Our figurative art aims to tell human stories that resonate with the viewer on an emotional level.
An expressive portrait of a woman created using the frottage technique, which involves rubbing a drawing tool over a textured surface. This unique style results in a vibrant, multi-layered artwork full of life and color.
We also accept commissions for religious and spiritual art. This colorful, contemporary interpretation of "The Last Supper" is a vibrant and modern take on a classic masterpiece.
About Immortalize Your Moments: Custom Portraits
When we take on a custom portrait, the process starts with a conversation about what the photo actually means to you. We do not just trace a reference image. Whether it is an acrylic piece or a detailed oil portrait, we focus on the small details—a specific smile, the way light hits a face, or the clothing—that make the subject feel like themselves. We ask for a few reference photos and a clear idea of the intended size and style before our artists begin, so the final result feels entirely personal.
How We Work on Your Portrait
Turning a photo into a painting is a collaborative process. Unlike buying art off a shelf, a commission is about getting the feeling right. Once we agree on the size and medium, our artists work in stages. If you choose an oil or acrylic canvas, we provide progress updates—showing you the sketch and the blocking—so you can see the painting take shape.
Choosing Your Medium
- Acrylics: Great for vibrant, fast-drying, and durable portraits that stand the test of time.
- Oils: Ideal for rich textures and deep blending, perfect for portraits where you want a classic, heirloom feel.
- Mixed Media: For those who want something unconventional, we can incorporate fabric or unique textures to add a 3D element to your portrait.
Preparing Your Reference
To get the best result, high-resolution photos work best. We prefer well-lit images where the subjects are clear. If the original photo has low lighting, let us know, and we can adjust the color palette to brighten the scene.
What to Expect
We provide a Certificate of Authenticity with every hand-painted piece. Because these are original works and not prints, please allow 3 to 6 weeks for high-complexity projects. We varnish all finished canvases to protect them from dust and UV light, ensuring they stay sharp for years to come. If you are in Bangalore, you are welcome to visit our studio in Koramangala to see our past work and discuss your project in person.
