As a bas-relief artist, my work is a testament to the rich heritage of Indian relief sculpture art, influenced by the intricate works of the Mughal era. Growing up in India, I was always captivated by the depth and form of the relief art that can be created from a flat surface, as if conjuring life from nothingness. The feel of clay in my hands, its texture, and the transformation it undergoes under my touch is a deeply spiritual experience for me, a journey towards something greater than myself.
In my artistic journey, I have been exploring new techniques to make my relief work appear more embossed and captivating. I strive to incorporate the pronounced embossing characteristic of high-bas relief in my work, creating a sense of depth and dimension that is both visually striking and tactile.
My medium is not limited to cement; I experiment with a variety of materials to achieve this embossed effect. This constant experimentation not only enriches my work but also pushes the boundaries of traditional bas-relief art.
A significant aspect of my work is the use of vibrant colours. The interplay of colours brings a new dimension to my sculptures, adding a layer of visual appeal that enhances the overall impact of the artwork.
Now residing in Adelaide, I find myself drawn to the unique flora and fauna of this land. The rich biodiversity and heritage of Australia have become a new source of inspiration for my work, influencing my artistic expression in profound ways.
Through my work, I aim to bridge cultures, blending the traditional relief art of India with the natural beauty of Australia. Each piece I create is a celebration of this fusion, a tribute to the enduring power of nature, and a reflection of my ongoing journey as an artist.
