Featured Metal Sculptures and Contemporary Installations
This collection highlights the core of my studio practice, showcasing how I use stainless steel and polycarbonate to capture fluidity, light, and motion in metal.
This piece, "Wings of Resilience," is central to my work. It combines the strength of crumpled, golden stainless steel with the delicate beauty of polycarbonate butterfly wings, capturing a moment of collective flight and transformation.
From my Meteor series, this wall installation explores energy and joy. The reflective, crumpled steel surface is scattered with vibrant polka dots, creating a playful and dynamic piece that interacts with the light in the room.
This video shows the installation of a contemporary Ganpati sculpture. It highlights my process of blending abstract shapes and reflective surfaces to create modern interpretations of figurative and spiritual subjects.
Here I am with "Eclipse," a freestanding sculpture that contrasts a rustic Corten steel base with a polished, crumpled stainless steel top. It represents the idea that even when light is momentarily obscured, its true nature shines through.
This shows how a large-scale Meteor installation can transform a living space. The bold combination of electric blue, reflective silver, and a touch of red creates a powerful focal point, demonstrating how my art integrates with interior design.
A freestanding sculpture from my Butterfly series, where a ring of polished steel becomes the foundation for a flurry of colorful wings. This piece explores themes of hope and continuous movement, designed to be viewed from all angles.
A glimpse into my studio process. Here, I am adding details to a piece, showing the hands-on discipline and intuitive rhythm that goes into creating each line and form. The surface only speaks when you listen to it.
Titled "The Bond," this freestanding sculpture uses simple, flowing lines of stainless steel to represent the unconditional love between a mother and child. It is an example of how I use abstract forms to convey deep emotional stories.
About Featured
When you choose a wall installation, remember that my work is not static. Because I use mirror-polished stainless steel, the sculpture changes throughout the day as natural light shifts across the folds. It catches the morning sun differently than the evening ambient light, effectively becoming a dynamic element of your interior rather than a fixed decoration.
My work stems from a desire to make industrial materials feel fluid. When you look at the Meteor series, you see crumpled, mirror-finish stainless steel that appears soft and light, despite the heavy gauge of the metal. This contrast is intentional. I want my pieces to interact with their surroundings, acting as a mirror to the room rather than just an object within it.
Each piece is engineered for its environment. My wall installations use a heavy-duty French cleat system, allowing for a floating effect of 1 to 2 inches off the wall. This shadow gap adds depth and prevents the art from looking flat against the surface. For the Pop Art and Butterfly series, I incorporate polycarbonate to introduce color and playfulness, creating a different visual language compared to the pure steel works.
Whether you are looking at a compact tabletop sculpture or a 6-foot floor-standing piece, the maintenance remains consistent. I include specialized care instructions and a microfiber cloth with every acquisition, as mirror surfaces are sensitive to dust and fingerprints. If you are based in Mumbai, I offer a site visit to discuss spatial needs, floor leveling, and installation angles. For outstation projects, I provide detailed paper templates and remote guidance to ensure the installation is positioned correctly.

I moved from the business world to sculpture because I wanted to create things that feel real and alive. I work primarily with steel and polycarbonate to capture fluidity, reflection, and the interplay of light in any space.
