| UPCYCLED HANDPAINTED BOWLS | WOODEN KEEPSAKE BOX | UPCYCLED JEWELLERY BOX |


Through these upcycled ‘containers’, I try and explore a connection between nature and the impact of impermanence. I chose a long and learning process of trying to uncover a beauty, that is born from rot…a kind of beauty that raises queries about the transient nature of life itself.

All my artworks are covered in handpainted details. These patterns sometimes are inspired by Indian miniatures, floral bouquets of nature, childhood memories, my various travels across the country and sometimes from tribal art forms. My Upcycled Functional Art pieces do not need a purpose to showcase their beauty.

A whole lot of found, rejected wooden bowls and vessels make up this collection of upcycled and handpainted containers. They were initially manufactured as wooden bowls but minor defects got them to the junk pile . But at Upcycld Art, I turn them into Handpainted Functional Art. This is a unique and original art, hand-painted piece of art. Its usage is open to your own interpretation.
