Conceptual and Surrealist Art Commissions by SpAArC

The Intersection of Structure and Emotion

For me, architecture and painting are the same conversation. In my studio, a wooden cabin in Gubbalala, Bengaluru, I apply the same architectural rigor to a canvas as I do to a blueprint. My surrealist and conceptual work is built on these strong foundations, ensuring that every painting has a logic and a backbone before I introduce the fluid, emotional elements.

My Artistic Process

My approach is hands-on and transparent. Whether you are looking for a large statement piece or a smaller study, the process involves:

• Conceptualization: We start with your values or a specific emotion you want to capture. I develop preliminary sketches to align our vision.
• Technical Execution: I utilize artist-grade oils and acrylics. For portraits and detailed pieces, I use the grid method for anatomical accuracy, followed by a monochrome underpainting.
• Layering: I dedicate over 30 hours to glazing layers to achieve genuine depth in skin texture, fabric folds, or complex materials like plastic and glass.

Why Surrealism and Concept Art?

I believe art should force us to look closer. When I paint themes like duality (as seen in my 'Ambivalent' series) or prejudice (as in 'Fear'), I am not just creating an image. I am capturing a tension. These pieces use symbols—snakes, fireflies, birds, and water droplets—to externalize internal conflicts. My goal is to create a painting that you can live with, one that changes as you see it in different lights and moods throughout the day.

If you want a piece that acts as a focal point for your home and sparks conversation, let's discuss what we can build together.
