Anthony by Ankita Kar Arts in Bengaluru

I create highly detailed figurative portraits in graphite, charcoal, and colour pencil — where hyperrealism meets emotional depth. Trained as an engineer before becoming a full-time artist, I bring both technical precision and emotional sensitivity to every piece. My portraits don't just capture likeness — they capture the quiet interior life of the subject: the suspended emotion, the unguarded moment, the feeling just beneath the surface. I work on premium archival papers — Fabriano, Arches and Saunders Waterford, Strathmore — ensuring every commissioned piece is built to last and exhibition-ready from the start. My original works are held by private collectors in the USA, Canada, Denmark and all over India. Commissioning a portrait with me is a considered, collaborative process. I take time to understand what you want the piece to feel — not just look — like. Whether it's a deeply personal portrait of someone you love, a commemorative piece, or a work that explores identity and emotion, I bring the same care and precision to every commission. Based in Bengaluru, India. Available for commissions worldwide.
