|Upcycled Wooden Trays |

Through these upcycled ‘receptacles’, I have tried to explore a connection between beginnings and ends. There is also an impact of the spectacle of impermanence. I chose a long and learning process of trying to uncover a beauty, that is born from rot. But it still raises a query 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. These Upcycled Functional Art pieces do not need a purpose to showcase their beauty.

A whole lot of found, rejected wooden trays make up this collection of upcycled and handpainted ‘receptacles’. They were initially manufactured as wooden serving trays or  wooden decorative coffee table trays 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.
