About Custom Murals & Textured Wall Art
Why We Do What We Do
A wall isn’t just a wall for us - it’s where stories begin. I’m Varsha, and Vivek’s my partner in art (and all the madness). We see empty walls and think, bas, yaha kuch dhamakedaar banana hai (we have to create something wow here). Our work is all about making your space truly yours, not just something out of a catalogue.
What We Make
We love getting our hands dirty with different styles:
- Chiselled, scraped murals for that bold, sculptural wall installations vibe. If you want your wall to pop out, this one’s for you.
- Handcrafted rice art using daal, chawal (pulses and rice), roasted for hours to get those perfect shades. Zero food wastage, promise.
- Stapler art - yep, with actual staples! Metal, shiny, and super unique.
- 3D textured murals built with stones or broken glass for a statement feature wall, especially if you want something outdoors or just offbeat.
How We Work
We first chat with you - your ideas, your space, what makes you tick. Then we sketch a concept, and finally, we get cracking, either in our Mumbai studio or right at your place if it’s a big mural.
Our Vibe
Every project is a bit unpredictable. Sometimes the rice doesn’t roast right, or glass cracks differently. But that’s the fun - every piece is one-of-a-kind.
Aur haan, sabr rakho, kabhi kabhi art banane mein time lagta hai (sometimes art takes time) but it’s always worth it in the end.

My Story
Hey! We’re Varsha and Vivek, the faces behind whARTever. Been doing this art thing together for 14 years now - wild, right? Painted at Falaknuma Palace, even did a wedding in Vietnam (bucket list stuff). But honestly, the best bits? That look on a bride’s face, or a dad’s silent hug after seeing our painting. That’s why we do it. Just two artists, soaking up all these love stories, feeling super lucky.
