Disciplines
seventeen ways of making
Classical Indian traditions and contemporary technique, practised side by side rather than kept apart.
(01)
Tanjore
South Indian classical painting — gesso relief built up by hand, surfaced in gold foil and set with stones. The relief catches light differently through the day.
27 works · ₹5,000–₹25,000
(02)
Pichwai
The Nathdwara devotional tradition: Shrinathji, lotus ponds and cows, rendered in fine detail layer over layer on cloth.
Commission only
(03)
Texture
Relief work built in modelling paste and pigment, so the surface itself carries the composition. Best read in raking light.
17 works · ₹1,000–₹7,500
(04)
Acrylic
Opaque colour worked in layers on canvas — saturated, quick-drying, colour sitting over colour without going muddy.
14 works · ₹2,500–₹15,000
(05)
Zentangle
Structured pen patterns laid down stroke by stroke. No erasing, no plan — the composition emerges out of the repetition itself.
12 works · ₹3,500–₹7,500
(06)
Canvas
Small-format originals on stretched canvas, finished ready to hang. The easiest way to start living with a piece rather than a print.
11 works · ₹500–₹1,500
(07)
Coasters
Hand-painted MDF coasters, some surfaced with pebble work, all sealed for real use on a real table. Painted individually, never printed.
13 pieces · ₹500–₹1,500
(08)
Watercolour
Transparent washes worked wet into wet. Nothing opaque, nothing corrected — every wash stays exactly where it landed.
6 works · ₹3,000–₹7,500
(09)
Modern
Contemporary abstract composition — colour, mass and negative space doing the work, with no subject to read.
2 works · ₹7,500–₹20,000
(10)
Mandala, mixed media & more
Material-led one-offs: dot mandalas built point by point, layered tissue, jute, pebble work, relief on wood, resin set facet by facet.
6 works · from ₹1,500

Framed, named, and yours alone.
(01)
Sold framed
Every painting is supplied with its frame. The price you see is the price on your wall — no separate framing bill, no waiting. Coasters arrive sealed and ready to use.
(02)
Individually named
Each frame is chosen and named to complement the piece it holds, so the framing is part of the work rather than a container for it.
(03)
Made once
These are originals. Nothing is printed, reproduced or made a second time — when a piece is gone, it is gone.
