I don't use canvas. Every piece here starts with a dense base of upcycled paper pulp I prepare by hand, which I then sculpt into 3D forms while the mixture is still malleable. It requires a specific, slow drying process to ensure the ridges hold their shape, which is why I often work on multiple layers of texture over several days before any paint touches the piece. The journey of an artwork is not linear; it is a conversation between materials and my own intuition. My process is deeply tied to sustainability, which is why I began working with upcycled paper. It offers a porosity and depth that traditional paint on flat canvas simply cannot replicate. ### The Anatomy of a Piece * **The Concept:** It starts with a feeling—or what I call a 'Navarasa'—which I map out in quick, rough sketches on my tablet or paper. * **The Sculpting:** This is the tactile phase. I mix the paper pulp, resin, and binders, then apply it to the backing. I use my hands and palette knives to build peaks and valleys. This is where the 'flow' happens, and where the piece starts to develop its own rhythm. * **The Curing:** A large-scale 3D artwork needs time to breathe. Rushing this stage leads to cracks, so I monitor the moisture levels in the studio constantly. * **The Finish:** This is the final layer where I introduce Duco paints, gold leaf, or even rough diamond inserts. This is when the piece changes from raw matter into a finished, light-catching sculpture. Whether you are looking at a small sculptural collectible or a 7-foot statement installation, the process remains the same. I want my art to be something you can touch and feel, not just something you hang on a wall to fill space. If you have a specific wall or a corner in your home that needs a narrative, that is exactly where my journey and yours can align. ## About Shruti Jhaveri I am Shruti Jhaveri. I don't just paint; I build stories using upcycled paper, texture paste, and a lot of patience.
