I am a self-taught wire sculptor based in Delhi, driven by a passion for making sculptures that tell profound stories. Over the past 8 years, I have immersed myself in this art form. I began with making bookmarks, jewelry, etc. with wire. Eager for creative growth, about 5 years ago I started using wire to convey a range of human emotions and experiences. Each sculpture I create incorporates diverse textures, colors, and intricate details to evoke thoughts. Growing up surrounded by various folklores and fables has deeply influenced my artistic journey. These stories continue to inspire me, encouraging me to embrace life’s challenges and experiences. I blend these narratives with my personal life encounters to craft distinctive stories within each artwork. Through my art, I aim to share my evolving insights about life. I hope that my sculptures resonate with people, offering inspiration as we navigate the unpredictable journey of life together.
