Color Portrait by najeeb - digital portrait artist in Bengaluru

I was born an immigrant in Saudi Arabia, from Indian-origin parents. I started my education in computer science engineering in 2011, but on graduating, I felt a profound void in personal expression. It led to a self-taught artistic journey. With further education in English literature and animation, my choice of medium evolved from pencil and paper drawings, to acrylic and digital paintings. By the end of 2024, I had been practicing art for over a decade, focusing primarily on refining my technique. In 2025 I decided to shift my focus to photorealistic digital portraits.
