About Custom Portrait Art
My Art, Your Story
Art is literally my heart. I’m Sharan from Bengaluru, and I make custom portraits that are anything but ordinary. I do this in two ways: edgy with blood (yes, your own), or classic with charcoal and pencil.
Blood Portraits: Next-Level Personal
Ever seen a personalised blood portrait? I use a few drops of your blood as the medium. The result is a reddish-brown, super intimate piece. It’s intense, but for some people, it’s the deepest connection you can have with art. Safety’s not a concern - I stick to hygienic, professional collection methods.
Charcoal Portraits: Old-School Cool
If blood isn’t your thing, no worries. I also do realistic, hand-drawn family portraits in charcoal and pencil. Black-and-white, detailed, and timeless. I can even take your old family photo and turn it into something you’d want to hang up.
What I Can Make
- Couple portraits (anniversary, or just for fun)
- Family portraits (including pets, obviously)
- Solo portraits that actually feel like you
- Friends’ portraits for your favourite macha (buddy)
- Charcoal memorial artwork for loved ones
How It Goes
You send me a photo. I sketch, paint, add a message in English or Kannada if you want ("Ninnage Preethi" and all that). I get it framed and sorted. If you want something real and a bit offbeat, I’m your guy.
Good vibes, no fake stuff.

My Story
Namma Bengaluru is home, I’m Sharan. Art is my heart, simple. I do portraits that go deeper than just a look-alike - I want it to feel like a part of you. That’s why I started painting with blood, yeah, literally. It’s raw, personal, nothing else comes close. When I’m not painting, I’m probably riding my Enfield, chasing good vibes and open roads. But really, my studio is where I turn memories into something permanent. That’s my true calling.
My Work
Blood Portrait Art - I make portraits using your own blood, drawn safely. It’s a powerful, personal legacy artwork.
Custom Warli Mural - Traditional Warli folk art, painted on walls for homes or offices. Adds a unique, earthy vibe.
Charcoal Family Sketch - Classic charcoal portraits, detailed and timeless. Good for gifting or remembering special moments.
Emotional Keepsake Painting - Every piece I make holds a real story, often bringing out strong emotions for my clients.
