Live Speed Painting Stage Shows for Events

Inspired by the powerful film Kantara, this is a six-minute live art performance. I enjoy bringing culturally significant themes to life on canvas, creating a performance that resonates deeply with the audience.

This 15-minute live painting performance for Vijaya Enterprises, done alongside the talented Kalaagni The Band, shows how music and art can create an electric atmosphere. I painted a double portrait, capturing the essence of the event's honorees.

Live performances can be unpredictable. Here, the easel stand gave way, but the show must go on. I managed to control the canvas and finish the portrait in time, showing my ability to adapt under pressure.

The process begins. Here I am on stage, laying down the initial outlines for a portrait of Puneeth Rajkumar. This is the quietest moment before the energy builds.

Adding layers and depth to the portrait. Each brushstroke is quick and deliberate, building the features and expression to create a recognizable likeness in minutes.

A side view of the live painting in action. You can see the stage setup and how I work with my easel and paints to create a large-scale piece for the audience.

From another angle, you can see the initial sketch taking form. Even the first few lines are crucial for establishing the foundation of a speed painting.

There's no feeling like presenting a finished piece on stage. This was a special moment from the Bengaluru International Children's Film Festival, where I painted a tribute to the beloved actor Puneeth Rajkumar.

A quick look at what I do best: creating art that feels alive. This video compiles moments from various stage performances, showing the energy and passion I bring to every event.
