About Commissioned Art & Custom Portraits
Art That Speaks Your Story
Painting isn’t just a hobby for me - it’s how I feel, how I connect. Sometimes, I can’t even explain the joy of turning your stories into art. Nim stories nanna inspire maadutte (your stories inspire me). If you’ve ever wondered how your memories might look as art, that’s exactly what I do.
What I Create
- Family, couple, baby, and pet portraits - each one is made to capture the real bond, the laughter, even the quirks.
- Spiritual and divine pieces - Ganesha, Radha-Krishna, or any guru close to your heart, I bring them alive on canvas.
- Memorial art commission for those wanting to keep memories alive, including creating one frame from multiple photos - perfect for bringing everyone together, even those who aren’t around anymore.
How Your Portrait Comes Alive
- Choose your style: acrylic canvas portrait for bold, vibrant feels, pencil sketch for classic charm, or mix it up with some watercolour or gouache.
- You aren’t limited by the photo. Want a twist? RCB jersey on your baby, floral backgrounds, or something totally offbeat - let’s talk heng madbeku (how we make it happen).
Why People Pick This
Handmade family portrait or personalized couple sketch - these make heartfelt gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or just because your walls need a dose of love. I’ve shipped art everywhere from Bengaluru to Hong Kong, so location isn’t a problem.
Every piece is a slice of your life, made to last.

My Story
Hey, I'm Sumana from Bengaluru and Shimoga. Some days I’m lost in my art corner, paint everywhere, other days I’m dancing at a South Indian wedding in a silk saree! That’s me. Once did a mad 365-day painting challenge - uff, tough but wow, your stories kept me going. Art is all heart for me. When I paint Ganesha hugging a child, it's pure comfort, just what I feel. Oh, and RCB is life. Virat’s energy, that’s what I bring to my canvas.
My Work

Custom Portraits of People & Pets - Love making detailed custom pet portraits and family paintings. Every tiny detail matters to me.
Art with Heart - From my Bengaluru art corner, I create with passion. Spiritual art commissions, sketches, all crafted with care.
