About Pichwai Paintings
A Pichwai painting (derived from Pichh meaning ‘back’ and wai meaning ‘hanging’) originated as temple backdrops behind Lord Krishna’s idol in Nathdwara. Over centuries, it evolved into an intricate art form combining spirituality, storytelling, and aesthetic mastery. Each Pichwai celebrates devotion — capturing divine moments such as Govardhan Puja, Janmashtami, Raas Leela, and Sharad Purnima.
At I Am An Artist India, our artists honour these ancient techniques while introducing refined modern detailing. Using acrylic on canvas, they create layered compositions featuring ornate borders, delicate motifs, and glowing palettes of gold, indigo, emerald, and vermilion. The result is a painting that radiates serenity, devotion, and luxury — perfect for pooja rooms, meditation spaces, or art collectors seeking cultural depth.

About I Am An Artist India – How Our Artists Create Pichwai Paintings
Our Pichwai paintings are crafted by artists deeply rooted in the Nathdwara tradition. The process begins with a detailed sketch of the deity and motifs, followed by multiple layers of colour and fine line detailing. Artists blend acrylics with natural tones to replicate the luminosity of traditional temple art.
For gold and metallic Pichwais, gilding techniques using gold leaf and raised textures are employed to create depth and brilliance. For modern interpretations, the focus shifts to stylised minimalism while retaining devotional energy. Each piece is cured, varnished, signed, certified, and shipped with museum-grade care — preserving both tradition and quality.
