No fixed style, just pure freedom – one day it’s a wall, next it’s a T-shirt, sometimes even an old chair. Mountains inspire us, so you’ll spot them in our work. Upcycling old furniture is our real joy – memories get a fresh coat. Trips to Himachal keep us going. This is for us: we chose this path, and honestly, we’re proud of it. ### My work - **Art Services**: Wall murals, furniture upcycling, texture art, Lippan art, canvas paintings, custom nameplates, art workshops. - **Furniture Upcycling Artist**: Old furniture isn’t just wood, it’s memories. We refurbish and give it new life, so you can keep those stories. - **Custom Wall Mural Design**: From Jaipuri wall painting at home to playful murals in schools, we create vibrant and personal art for every space. - **Texture Painting Workshop**: We teach painting techniques, from texture to T-shirt art. Everyone’s welcome, mistakes and all! - **Experiments and Lessons**: Not every idea works, but every failure teaches us.
