Nothing here is printed, reproduced, or made twice.

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.
