Provenance and collectability

  • The work has been completed using professional artist-grade materials.
  • The artwork has been inspected and approved by the artist prior to shipment.
  • The artwork forms part of the official Arun Shanker collection archive.
Original Works

All original paintings offered through this website are one-of-a-kind creations.
Once sold, no identical hand-painted version of the artwork will be recreated. Where

stated.

International Collectors

Shipped worldwide

Certificates of Authenticity are included with all original artworks shipped
worldwide. Each certificate is carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery and
preservation alongside the artwork.

“My artistic journey began as a personal pursuit of creativity after a successful career
in banking. Through my work, I seek to celebrate India’s rich cultural heritage,
spirituality, and timeless beauty. Every painting is created with patience, passion, and
attention to detail, making each piece a unique expression of artistic craftsmanship.”
