The portfolio

Some walls wanted a brush. Some wanted a press.

Each entry below says which — because the choice is half the craft. Read the red tags for brushwork, the indigo tags for the design bench. Both come from the same studio, since 2018.

Pichwai-style lotus mural behind candle-lit restaurant tables

Hand-painted

The lotus wall

Restaurant · Pichwai tradition

A dining room lit mostly by candles, which meant the mural had to work in half-light. We borrowed the Pichwai painters' answer: dense lotus clusters, gold-leaning highlights, dark water behind. The blooms sit at table-lamp height — where the diners actually look.

Lippan mirror-work wall reflecting light in a hotel lobby

Designed & fabricated

The mirror wall

Hotel lobby · Lippan tradition

Lippan work — Kutch clay relief with mirror inlay — composed first on screen, where we could map every mirror to the lobby's morning sun-path. Then fabricated panel by panel and set by hand on site. The screen planned it; fingers finished it. That's the studio in one wall.

Indigo botanical mural wrapping a bedroom headboard wall

Hand-painted

The indigo bedroom

Residence · Botanical

Neel — नील, indigo — laid in thin glazes over clay plaster so the wall keeps its texture under the colour. The family stayed in the next room the whole time; we painted quietly, eight days, and left the headboard wall holding a garden.

Marigold folk-bird mural across a café's back wall

Designed & printed

The folk-bird café

Café · Folk painting, redrawn

The café had a two-day fit-out window — no time for brushwork. So the design bench redrew folk-painting birds digitally, proofed the yellows against real genda-marigold pigment until they matched, and printed at wall scale. Installed between Sunday close and Tuesday open.

Abstract layered-stroke mural in an office workspace

Designed, then painted

The layered-stroke office

Office · Abstract

Both benches on one wall. The composition — layered strokes in clay, soot and sindoor — was built and revised on screen with the client's team. Then the muralists painted it at full scale, keeping the gesture loose so it reads as a hand, not a file.

Close view of a paint-flecked hand working fine brush detail into an indigo botanical wall

Hand-painted · In progress

Day eleven, leaf by leaf

Residence · Botanical, underway

We photograph the middle days, not just the reveals. This is what clients are actually buying: a steady hand, a loaded fine brush, and the patience to draw five hundred leaves so no two repeat. Kaarigari isn't a style. It's a pace.

A finished mural with the room arranged back around it

Hand-painted

The morning after

Residence · The reveal

Scaffolding out, drop cloths folded, furniture carried back in. The best part of any commission is the first ordinary morning the wall spends as part of the house. We stay for that, then we leave.
