It is not just about mounting steel to a wall, but about ensuring the finish interacts with your room's light throughout the day. Whether it is a mirror-finish piece for a living room or a heavy-gauge floor sculpture, I manage the site survey and installation myself to ensure the scale, weight, and floating effect are perfectly aligned with your environment. My path to becoming a sculptor was not linear. I spent years in the business world, which instilled a discipline that I now apply to every piece that leaves my studio. When you work with me on a commission, you are not just getting an object, but a process that begins with understanding your space. I treat my studio like a laboratory. It is where I experiment with the interplay of light and shadow, folding stainless steel or mixing polycarbonate to capture fluidity. You might see the final mirror-polished surface in a gallery like Tao Art or at an event like AD Mumbai, but the work starts long before that. It involves structural calculations, material testing, and a lot of trial and error to ensure that the final piece is both resilient and graceful. For larger floor-standing sculptures, I consider the technical reality of the site—floor levels, structural integrity, and long-term weather resistance for semi-outdoor spaces. For wall installations, I use a French cleat system to achieve that floating effect without clutter. I deliver and install across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area and Delhi NCR, providing the same level of care that I put into the initial creation. If you are looking for art that stands out and feels genuine, let us start a conversation about what we can create together. ## About Hitesh Gilder I transitioned from the business world to sculpture because I needed something tangible. I focus on transforming cold, tough materials like stainless steel into forms that feel alive and responsive to your space.
