Nikita Thakrar gets a blog...

I am an Oxford Law undergraduate with an obsession for art and fashion and painting so I have set up this blog as a way of showing my work off and so that if anyone likes something that I do, they can contact me to perhaps buy it!
Some of the paintings on here are for sale, some are already taken, so if you like anything then contact me and I can let you know prices. I also take commissions: if you like a particular piece and want something similar, or you have a colour scheme for a room and want the piece to match, or even if you have an idea of what you want in mind already then I am more than happy to design something accordingly.
I will update the blog with new stuff all the time so keep checking in!

Ganesh


This was my first venture into selling my work, and is a kind of painting of a real-life object. As with all my paintings, it is an oil on canvas, slightly larger than A3.

The story behind this is kind of funny...I made friends with a boy called Akash last summer, and when he saw some of the artwork I had done, he showed it to his then-employer, who I shall call Bob-the-Builder. Bob was so impressed with the picture that he asked me to reproduce it on canvas for his house, which I did. But then lots of drama happened involving a bathroom and Bob vanished, never to be seen again. So I still have this painting, which he was going to pay £75 for...
