| Wooden Cutting Boards | Upcycled Charcuterie Boards | Handpainted Cheese Boards |

This ‘surfaces’ collection fuses art with function. It also holds the essential goal of the upcycling movement. They are handpainted with stories. Stories, that act as inspirations from my childhood and my current life experiences. Stories that still raise 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 products make up this collection of upcycled and handpainted ‘surfaces’.  They were initially manufactured as wooden cakestands, wooden coasters or wooden cutting boards. These were a utility item once. Discarded once the fad became old news OR minor defects got them to the junk pile. But they are now restored and transformed as display art. 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.
