AV ARTS STUDIO is an art studio founded in 2019 by self-taught artist Sai Vijay, dedicated to creating highly realistic portrait artworks. The studio specializes in transforming emotions, memories, and personalities into timeless visual art. With a strong focus on craftsmanship, detail, and authenticity, AV ARTS STUDIO delivers both original creations and customized artworks tailored to individual client needs.
AV ARTS STUDIO was founded in 2019 by me, Sai Vijay, as a reflection of my journey as a self-taught artist deeply committed to realistic portrait art. The studio was established with a clear purpose: to create high-quality, emotionally resonant artworks that are both affordable and accessible. By balancing fine art standards with reasonable pricing, AV ARTS STUDIO allows a wider audience to experience and own meaningful, hand-crafted artworks.
My vision for AV ARTS STUDIO is to bridge the gap between fine art and everyday people—proving that professionally crafted, emotionally powerful art should not be limited by price or exclusivity. Through every artwork, I strive to capture authenticity, character, and human emotion with honesty and precision.
The mission of AV ARTS STUDIO is to continuously evolve artistically, maintain excellence in craftsmanship, and provide customised artworks that connect deeply with individuals, while building trust, value, and long-lasting relationships through art.

After 10 years and nine group exhibitions, Vijay's first solo exhibition, his tenth exhibition overall, at Anak Baba, Brickfields, on 27 September 2025 was a success. In addition to being active in exhibitions, Vijay also runs a business specializing in commissioned portraits at affordable prices.
