Born and raised in Chitradurga, I've always lived by the saying "Kayakave Kailasa" (Work is worship). For me, your event is a canvas and my job is to fill it with moments that stick. ### What I Do - **Glitter Reveal Magic:** I start with what looks like random brushstrokes, building curiosity. The big moment? I throw glitter, and suddenly, a full portrait appears. Trust me, it's proper jaw-drop stuff. Perfect for weddings, receptions, and those big corporate dos. - **Speed Painting Live Show:** Quick painting, loads of energy. I sometimes even paint upside down, flipping the canvas at the end for that big reveal. People love the suspense. - **Personalised Guest Canvas:** Want your guests to feel part of the story? I create a canvas where they can sign or write wishes. Later, I blend those into a portrait. Makes for a keepsake loaded with memories. ### Where My Art Fits Best Weddings, corporate galas, anniversaries, birthdays, naming ceremonies, even college fests. I tailor the performance to suit your event. Every show is different because every occasion is. If you're after something more than just standard entertainment, my on-the-spot portrait entertainment might be just what your event needs. ## Highlights Browse through Shivakumar Kandikere's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/shivakumar_kandikere/live-event-art-entertainment/featured) - [Video: This is the magic I love to create.

My journey started with a clay Ganesha idol, selling them for 10 rupees, just for the joy. Art is my worship, kayakave kailasa (work is divine). If I’m not painting, I’m probably riding my bike somewhere in the rain or mountains. I love my roots - ide naadu, ide bhaashe (this land, this language). I join campaigns to paint school walls, bringing colour and smiles. For me, art is all about spreading happiness. ### My work - **Art Services I Offer**: Live speed painting for weddings, glitter art, interactive event painting, custom pencil portraits, wall murals, sculptures. - **Live Event Painting**: I paint live at weddings and birthdays. A glitter baby name reveal or a surprise portrait, it’s pure magic. - **Custom Portraits & Gifts**: Ond idea, drawing maadi kodla? (Want a sketch as a gift?) Pencil couple portraits, memories for a lifetime. - **Wall Art & Murals**: From Warli wall mural art to modern designs, I turn plain walls into stories for homes, offices, and schools. - **My Philosophy**: Success is when my heart turns into art. I just want to create smiles, one sketch at a time. ## More services from Shivakumar Kandikere - [Custom Commissioned Artwork](https://mytribe.in/shivakumar_kandikere/custom-commissioned-artwork) · ₹800-12K per artwork (estimate) - [Mural & Wall Art Design](https://mytribe.in/shivakumar_kandikere/mural-wall-art-design) · ₹250-700 per sq.ft (estimate) - [Custom Sculptures & Idols](https://mytribe.in/shivakumar_kandikere/custom-sculptures-idols) · ₹600-6,000 per custom idol (8-18 inches, clay or similar material) (estimate) ## Book To book Shivakumar Kandikere, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Live%20Event%20Art%20%26%20Entertainment%20by%20Shivakumar%20Kandikere.)
