About Custom Artwork & Commissions
Art That Feels Personal
I pour a lot of myself into every piece, whether it’s a charcoal sketch or an acrylic painting. Art for me is about catching a vibe, not just copying a photo. I like making things that actually mean something to you, not just something that looks nice on the wall.
What I Can Make For You
- Portraits & Sketches: This is my jam. I spend most of my time doing realistic portrait commissions, especially in charcoal or pencil. These make great personalized sketch gifts for any occasion.
- Paintings: If you want something bigger or more colorful, I do acrylic canvas paintings and oils too. Could be anything: your favorite celeb, a chill landscape, or even something abstract if you’re feeling experimental.
- Caricatures: If you want something with a bit of humour, I make caricatures that are bold and playful.
- Wall Art & Murals: For those blank walls in Bangalore, I can turn them into custom wall mural art. We’ll brainstorm and come up with something that fits your space and style.
How I Work With You
I like keeping things simple. You share your idea or photo, I’ll sketch out what I’m thinking, and if you vibe with it, I’ll get to work. Sometimes the process is quick, sometimes it takes a bit longer if the idea’s complicated or I’m trying something new. I’ll always check in before finishing up the final piece.
Sometimes things turn out exactly as imagined, sometimes they surprise us (not always in a bad way). Either way, it’s art made for you, with you.

My Story
Hey, I'm Mona. Art's been my buddy since forever, not just work for me. Sometimes I get lost in sketching faces, sometimes I find new parts of myself. Been drawing since 2010, ya, some of those old sketches still make me smile. I love catching people’s real expressions, their stories. Made portraits for birthdays, painted memories for friends who are like family. Best part? Seeing someone grin at my work. That’s what keeps me going.
