Featured Metal Sculptures and Installations
A glimpse into my studio practice: from fluid stainless steel forms to vibrant, hand-painted pop art installations designed to transform your space.
This piece, "Wings of Resilience," is a powerful symbol of transformation and hope. I layered polycarbonate butterfly wings over a hand-shaped, gold-toned stainless steel base to create a sense of collective flight and dynamic energy.
I call this series 'Meteor,' where I work to make rigid stainless steel feel fluid and alive. This wall installation, Meteor 151, uses a color gradient to capture the warmth of a sunset, with the polished surface constantly playing with light and reflection.
With just a few elegant lines of polished steel, "The Bond" captures the powerful and unconditional love between a mother and child. This freestanding figurative sculpture is an exploration of pure emotion rendered in a strong, resilient material.
A custom sculpture should feel like it was born in the space it inhabits. This matte black and grey steel installation was commissioned for a client's dining room, creating a focal point that is both modern and timelessly elegant.
Watch how the light dances across the fluid folds of this stainless steel wall installation. The reflective surface is not static; it captures and distorts the surrounding environment, making the artwork a living, breathing part of the room.
This is my contemporary interpretation of Ganpati, crafted from stainless steel. The video shows the final moments of installation, where the piece finds its home and its spiritual energy can fill the space. The abstract form uses color and reflection to convey both strength and grace.
"Mind Fragments" is a departure into the world of pop art. This wall installation is a vibrant explosion of color and pattern, layering different visual languages on polycarbonate and aluminum to create a composition that is chaotic yet unified.
My process is a blend of intuition and discipline. Here, you can see the hands-on work of adding color and line work to a three-dimensional surface, a meditative process where each mark helps the form find its rhythm.
About Featured
My process for these pieces often starts with a specific reflection or light condition in your room. I use hand-folded stainless steel that reacts to the shifting light of your day, so the sculpture you see in the morning will look quite different under evening lights. If you are considering a custom wall or floor piece, let us discuss the placement first to ensure the material finish complements your existing decor.
The pieces you see here are a snapshot of my ongoing exploration of metal. Whether it is a mirror-polished stainless steel installation or a piece layered with polycarbonate, every artwork is built for longevity. I rely on high-grade SS 304, which resists rust and stays durable, even in the coastal humidity of Mumbai.
Unlike mass-produced decor, these are hand-folded. I do not use stamped molds. This manual process allows for organic curves and shapes that feel deliberate rather than mechanical. When we work on a commission, I start with a digital preview to show you exactly how the piece will scale against your wall. For larger floor sculptures, I ensure the base is weighted correctly—using stone or heavy steel—to maintain stability without compromising the aesthetic.
Whether you want a figurative piece for a foyer or a large-scale abstract installation for a feature wall, I work directly with you or your interior designer to finalize the material finish—mirror silver, gold, rose gold, or custom PU coatings. My installations are a partnership; we align on the vision, I handle the heavy-duty fabrication and mounting, and together we transform the space.
