In this tiny yet powerful artwork, I’ve painted the soulful eyes of Lord Krishna, glowing with calm, depth, and mystery. This piece is part of my ongoing journey to capture Indian aesthetics and spiritual expression through miniature artworks.
From choosing the color palette to each delicate stroke — I’ve shared the entire step-by-step tutorial in my latest video!

_“This was the last oil painting I started. Two years ago. It’s still not finished. And maybe… it’s not meant to be.”
There’s something ______ about an artwork left incomplete. This canvas holds a version of me—quiet, searching, unsure. For two years, I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the brush again.
But today, 21 days into sharing my art journey on YouTube… something has shifted. I feel like I’m slowly returning to myself.
I’m painting again—not this one, not yet—but something new. Because this unfinished piece? It reminds me that healing doesn’t always mean closure. Sometimes, it means letting go and moving forward—with color, with courage.
This painting will stay just as it is. A pause. A memory. A promise.
While I’m away preparing for exams, I wanted to take a moment to share something truly special with you all — a painting that carries my heart.
This Pramukhswami Maharaj oil painting was made for my mom’s birthday on 11th August 2021. It was my way of giving her peace, strength, and blessings through brushstrokes.
It's been a week… Just seven days ago, I shared my very first YouTube Short — a piece of my art and my story. I started this channel with nothing but a sketchbook, a few oil painting clips, and the hope that someone out there would connect with what I create.
Thank you to everyone who’s watched, supported, or simply paused to look. It means more than words.
Here’s a look back at where it all began — my Varanasi oil painting, captured in a short that’s close to my heart: youtube.com/shorts/QYqlFEpJJZ...
And here are a few stills from that painting — each brushstroke carrying stories of the ghats, colors of devotion, and silence of river winds.

Day 14
While I’m away preparing for exams, I wanted to take a moment to share something truly special with you all — a painting that carries my heart.
This Pramukhswami Maharaj oil painting was made for my mom’s birthday on 11th August 2021. It was my way of giving her peace, strength, and blessings through brushstrokes.
A few days ago, I posted a Short of it

— Thank you for seeing what words can’t always say.
Here are some close-up stills from that canvas, and until I’m back with new videos post-exams, I hope this fills the space with warmth and faith.
