Honouring legends and special figures through my art. I capture the spirit and essence of those who inspire us, using mediums that bring their stories to life.

As an artist, this is the small tribute I can pay to a man who inspired millions in India and beyond. This digital portrait of Ratan Tata was created with a sense of immense respect for his contributions as a businessman and humanitarian.

Growing up in the 90s, the "Wah Taj!" ad featuring Ustad Zakir Hussain was iconic. This digital sketch is my small tribute to the legendary tabla maestro, an artist who brought Indian classical music to the world stage.

My acrylic painting of Nada Prabhu Kempegowda, the founder of Bengaluru. It was an honor to paint him against the backdrop of the Karnataka flag during a live art event, paying tribute to the visionary behind my city.

This award-winning acrylic portrait is my tribute to two legends of Kannada cinema, Dr. Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar. It was an emotional piece to create, and I'm grateful it resonated with so many people.

About Tribute Art

Creating a tribute piece is different from a standard portrait because it requires capturing the spirit, not just the likeness. When I work on these, I spend time understanding the subject's story or the specific memory my client wants to preserve. It is not just about the lines on the paper or the strokes on the canvas, but about the feeling the final piece evokes when you look at it.
