About Blood Portraits: Your Story in Art
You do not need a medical background for this. You just need to provide 2-4ml of your blood in an EDTA vial, which I then treat and use as a permanent, reddish-brown medium for the sketch. It is entirely hygienic and results in a deeply personal piece that changes over time with oxidation, much like a memory.
This medium is not just paint; it is a literal part of your identity on canvas. When you commission a blood portrait, you are choosing a piece that moves away from standard ink and captures a visceral, human connection.
Technical Standards
I use 300 GSM cold-press watercolor paper specifically to hold the organic medium. After the painting is complete, I apply a professional UV sealant. This is critical to ensure the pigment holds its sepia or rust-red tone rather than decaying over time. The result is a durable piece of art that looks distinct from anything you will find in a gallery.
Personalization
Whether it is a solo portrait or a wedding special for two, I incorporate details like jewelry textures or personal quotes in either English or Kannada script. If you want to add a message like 'Ninnage Preethi' (For you, love), just let me know when you share the reference photos.
Delivery
Everything comes framed in a high-quality synthetic frame with a protective acrylic or glass glazing, ready to hang. If you are outside Bengaluru, I pack these securely to ensure they arrive intact and ready for display.
