## About Custom Paintings & Fine Art

### Why I Paint

Painting is my way of exploring ideas that stick in my head. Every piece I make is about something—fear, truth, duality, memories. Sometimes it's a snake and plastic wrap, sometimes a sapling cracking through a stone. It's not just about making something pretty for the wall. I want you to look at a painting and feel something, or even question it.

### What I Can Make For You

- If you want a surrealist conceptual painting that digs deeper than the surface, that's my sweet spot. I love putting stories and symbols into my work.
- For realistic custom portraits, I pay a lot of attention to the tiny stuff—skin, eyes, the mood in someone’s face. It’s about capturing more than a photo ever could.
- If you’re into mythology, I like mixing old Indian stories with a modern, sometimes trippy vibe. Think Radha and Krishna but in bold colours and new settings.

### My Process

My architect brain makes me obsessed with strong foundations. I start with a basic sketch or monochrome underpainting to get the lights and shadows right. Oil and acrylic are my main tools, but I mix things up with other materials if the idea calls for it. I use layers and fine details so the final piece has real depth.

### How We Work Together

You bring the idea—maybe just a feeling, maybe a full story. We chat, maybe swap some reference photos or doodles. I'll keep you in the loop as I paint, so what you get in the end is something that feels truly yours.

- ![This piece, titled 'Fear', explores how we perceive threats through a screen of prejudice. The snake symbolizes a fear we've heard of but not experienced, while the plastic wrap represents our preconceived notions. One eye looks out clearly, ready to face that fear directly.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/4947859c-7220-433a-98af-7b6ebcd21e9d)
- ![Titled 'Ambivalent', this painting is a self portrait of my own internal duality. I am both the nurturer who builds a nest of comfort and the inner danger, the snake, that threatens to destroy it. It is a reflection on the protector and the destroyer within us all.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a54fc4a9-a7ce-47c1-8b42-e15e2ae77d36)

### My story

Hey, we’re SpAArC. Honestly, art and architecture feel like the same thing for us. Our studio’s a wooden cabin where ideas bounce between painting emotions and designing homes that breathe with their surroundings. We get our hands dirty – building planters from old bottles, making terrariums, painting what we can’t say out loud. It’s a mix of head, heart, and a bit of mess. That’s how we like it.

### My work

- **What we do**: Residential architecture, interior design, surrealist and photorealistic paintings, plus custom art commissions.
- **How we work**: You walk in with a dream, we sketch, argue, laugh, and build it together. No secrets, just a transparent architectural design process.
- **Our style**: We love rustic holiday home architecture, but don’t box us in. Sometimes it’s mountain vibes, sometimes Spanish coast, always natural materials.
- **Art that talks**: From surrealist commissioned portraits to photorealistic water droplet paintings, our art’s about emotions, not just decoration.
- **Hands-on and honest**: We share the mess – site visits, underpaintings, work-in-progress. If you like seeing the journey, you’ll fit right in.
