Commissions
A painting made for you
Every commission begins with a conversation: who or what matters to you, and where the painting will live.
What Anamika paints
Portraits
The people you love — a parent, a partner, a child mid-laugh — painted from your photographs.
Mukham
Kerala traditions
Kathakali, Theyyam, Mohiniyattam and Kerala mural deities for a home, a shrine room or a gift.
Vesham
Florals
Marigolds, sunflowers, a favourite garden: thick, joyful paint made to brighten a room.
Pookkalam
Places & memories
A family home, a town you left, a ritual you miss — painted as you remember it.

The process
From conversation to canvas
- 01
Conversation
You share who or what you would like painted, photographs or references, and where the work will live. Anamika suggests a size, medium and palette, and gives you a quote.
- 02
Sketch
A composition sketch and colour direction are shared for your thoughts before any paint touches the canvas.
- 03
Painting
Work begins in oil, acrylic or mixed media. You will see progress along the way, with room for small adjustments.
- 04
Delivery
The finished painting is signed, photographed and carefully packed for its new home.
Questions
How much does a commission cost?
It depends on size, medium and complexity. After a first conversation Anamika will send a quote — there is no obligation to go ahead.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size and detail of the piece. If you have a date in mind — a birthday, a housewarming — mention it in your request and Anamika will tell you what is possible.
What photographs should I send?
Clear, well-lit photographs at the highest resolution you have. For portraits, a few images of the person’s face in natural light help capture their expression.
Can the painting be delivered?
Delivery is arranged with each commission. Let Anamika know where you are and it will be included in your quote.
