01

Upload Your Photograph

We believe art can begin with something as familiar as a photograph you love.

The Pixel Masala brings together personal memories, artistic expression and contemporary décor, allowing people to explore different visual styles and create artwork that has a genuine connection to their lives.

You do not need to know anything about art to begin.

02

Choose Your Art Style

Choose from 11 distinctive art styles. Each style has its own visual character and creative direction, so select the one that best matches how you would like your photograph interpreted.

Each style describes the broad visual language that influences the artwork. It does not mean that the finished artwork will be an exact reproduction of an existing artist’s work. Personalised artwork involves creative interpretation, so some variation is natural.

The samples and style references shown on the website communicate the expected artistic direction and are not exact previews of your final artwork.

03

Make It Personal

Every photograph has its own story. Tell us what you would like changed, added or preserved. You can write in your own words, just as you would explain it to another person - no special format or design terminology is required.

Background

"Put the Taj Mahal in the background and make it look like sunset."

Clothing

"Change my shirt to a dark blue kurta, but keep my face and hairstyle the same."

Mood And Colour

"Make the overall picture feel warm, elegant and slightly festive."

Pose Or Composition

"Keep our pose the same, but bring us a little closer together."

Objects And Details

"Remove the chair behind us and keep the flowers in the foreground."

Example You Can Type:

"Keep my face and pose the same. Put the Taj Mahal in the background, make the sky look like sunset, change my clothes to a dark blue kurta and give the artwork a warm, elegant feel."

If you do not have any special instructions, you can skip this step. Your uploaded photograph and selected art style will guide the creative direction.

What Happens After Checkout

Your photograph and all the choices you made are brought together as the creative brief for your personalised artwork.

The brief includes your uploaded photograph, selected art style, any optional instructions, presentation choice, orientation, frame colour where applicable, and selected size.

The final artwork is individually created in the chosen artistic direction. Because personalised artwork involves creative interpretation, the style samples on the website should be treated as references rather than exact previews of the finished piece
