Custom Portrait & Face Wall Murals
From historical legends and spiritual icons to surrealist figures, I paint faces that command attention. Let’s turn your blank wall into a canvas of character with a custom portrait mural.
A time-lapse of the Buddha mural I painted at Moustache Pushkar. From a blank wall to a finished masterpiece, this video shows the entire process of sketching, blocking colors, and adding fine details.
This surrealist mural is a tribute to the master, Salvador Dali. I used a vibrant, psychedelic color palette and included iconic elements like melting clocks to capture his unique artistic style for an office interior.
Standing in front of my portraits of Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi. Part of the 100-foot mural in Ziro, these pieces were painted with great respect to honor their contributions.
A close-up shot of me adding the final touches to the beard of Rabindranath Tagore. This shows the level of detail and brushwork that goes into creating these large-scale realistic portraits.
A work-in-progress shot of the Mahatma Gandhi portrait. Even during the painting process, the powerful likeness and character of the figure begins to emerge.
This mural of a man smoking was painted for a cafe in Goa. The realistic style and warm color palette create a relaxed, story-telling atmosphere for the space.
A shot of me working on a massive monochrome portrait of a Greek god. Perched on scaffolding, I used spray paint to create the soft gradients and flowing hair.
The finished 15-foot Roman-style portrait for a restaurant in Indore. The high-contrast monochrome design creates a dramatic and classical focal point in the dining area.
A video showing the process of painting a monochrome angel mural. I use freehand sketching and careful brushwork to build up the layers of shading and create a sculptural look.
Me in action, working on a large monochrome mural of a romantic, angelic couple. This angle shows the scale of the piece and the initial line work before shading.
About Faces & Figures
Getting a lifelike portrait on a wall is not just about the final spray. It starts with a digital mockup to nail the anatomy and expression before I even pick up a can. For indoor spaces, I stick to high-grade acrylics and brushes to get those smooth gradients and tight details, while exterior walls get the spray treatment for that authentic street edge.
Whether it is a tribute to a legend like Gandhi or a surrealist piece inspired by Dali, painting faces is where the real craft comes out. It is not just about copying an image; it is about bringing that personality to the wall. For interiors, like restaurants or private lounges, I focus on brushwork with artist-grade acrylics. This gives me the control to blend skin tones and create realistic textures that look good up close. If you are looking for that dramatic, high-contrast effect, I mix in aerosol techniques, especially for large-scale monochrome pieces. I have painted everything from 100-foot walls in the mountains of Ziro to intimate cafe corners in Goa. If you have a specific face or figure in mind, we start by figuring out the composition and lighting so the mural fits your wall’s unique architecture. I handle the prep work, the scaffolding for the big walls, and the final protective coat to make sure your art stays clean and vibrant. You bring the space, I will bring the paint.
