About Tandaku
Handcrafted portraits by Malaysian artists, with love.
Our Story
Born from a love of art and Malaysian creativity, Tandaku started as a small passion project in 2024. Our founder, inspired by the vibrant art scene across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru, envisioned a place where anyone could commission beautiful, hand-crafted portraits without the gallery price tag.
The name "Tandaku" comes from the Malay word "tanda" meaning sign or mark, combined with "ku" meaning mine. It reflects our belief that every portrait is a personal mark, a signature of love, memory, and identity. Your portrait is your tandaku: uniquely yours, deeply personal.
Today, we work with a growing team of talented Malaysian artists who specialize in everything from Renaissance oil painting styles to bold pop art and gentle watercolors. Each portrait is created with careful attention to detail, from the initial sketch to the final brushstroke. We print on premium materials sourced locally and internationally, ensuring every product meets the standard of quality our customers deserve.
What We Stand For
