Bridging Tradition & Modern Spaces
Growing up surrounded by India’s incredibly rich visual landscape, I fell in love with art at an early age. I realized that paintings are not merely decor; they are vessels for ancient stories, feelings, and cultural memories.
This realization shaped my career as both a practicing artist and a visual educator.
Through MyPaintingStories, I combine traditional styles like Madhubani, Pichwai, and Gond with contemporary watercolor, gouache, and ink mediums.
I believe that by teaching these techniques and offering high-end custom commission pieces, we can celebrate the beauty of legacy while embracing modern aesthetics.
A Story Told in Brushstrokes
Every painting at MyPaintingStories is a convergence of heritage and modern design. We research historical Indian folklore, local color theories, and symbolism to extract the essence of traditional art forms. By layering these with contemporary media, we ensure that every piece speaks to both past generations and modern architectural spaces.
