Meet Divya: Mumbai-Inspired Illustrator and Artist
I’m a self-taught illustrator turning everyday Mumbai moments into art you can wear, carry, or keep close to your heart.
This is me, Divya. I believe art is about capturing those small moments that stick with you. Whether it's a scene from my home city of Mumbai or a custom piece just for you, I pour my heart into every creation.
About Meet the Artist
I don't just draw; I document the little things in Mumbai that make life feel like home. Whether it is a hand-painted tote featuring a local kaali-peeli taxi or a custom portrait for someone special, every piece I create is about preserving those fleeting, beautiful memories on high-quality, sustainable cotton.
My journey as an artist began right here in Mumbai, finding inspiration in the spots that have stood the test of time, like Sanjay bhaiya's bhel puri stall or the familiar faces on the local train. My small business is my way of sharing this nostalgia with you.
My Approach to Art
I believe art should be functional, not just decorative. That is why I focus on wearable art and everyday items. When I work on a custom commission, whether it is a portrait or a streetscape, I spend about 3-6 hours ensuring the hand-painted details capture the exact vibe you are looking for. I use professional-grade fabric acrylics that are heat-set for permanence, so your piece stays vibrant even after wear.
Sustainability Matters
It is important to me that my work doesn't leave a heavy footprint. I partner with brands that use 180 GSM bio-washed cotton for t-shirts and heavy-duty 10-12oz canvas for totes. My packaging is plastic-free, using brown kraft paper and twine, because I think the unboxing experience should feel as thoughtful as the art itself.
Let’s Connect
Beyond my shop, I love teaching others to find their own creative voice through my beginner-friendly art workshops. If you are looking for something bespoke, or just want to chat about capturing a specific Mumbai memory in a painting, I am always happy to talk through ideas. Let’s make something personal together.
