Figurative and Symbolic Metal Sculptures

Translating Emotion into Metal

Creating figurative art in metal requires balancing the material's inherent strength with the softness of the subject matter. In this collection, I move away from literal representation to focus on the 'essence' of a form. Whether I am working with stainless steel, bronze, or brass, my goal is to strip away the noise and leave only the core feeling.

The Series

• Human Bonds: My 'Mother-Child' series, including pieces like The Bond, uses continuous loops of steel to represent unbreakable connections. The interplay of polished steel and brass accents emphasizes the depth of the relationship.
• Symbolic Power: Works like my 'Bull' series and abstract 'Ganesha' interpretations use distorted, reflective surfaces to represent strength and new beginnings. These aren't static objects; they interact with your space by reflecting the colors and movement around them.
• Dynamic Storytelling: In pieces such as Serenade in Steel, I use structural metal rods to capture the fluidity of motion—a musician lost in her melody, frozen in time but full of rhythm.

Materiality and Placement

I predominantly utilize 304-grade stainless steel for its durability and mirror-finish capabilities, often contrasting it with stone or Corten steel bases to ground the piece. These figurative works are versatile:

• Tabletop & Console: Perfect for 18-30 inch pieces that command attention in smaller spaces.
• Freestanding Statements: For larger 6-8 foot structures, I provide weighted bases to ensure stability, making them ideal for lobbies or well-lit living areas.

Every piece comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, and for larger installations, I provide professional installation support within Mumbai, including site-specific spatial checks to ensure the lighting hits the steel exactly as intended.
