The Artist's Journey: From Engineering to Resin Art
Looking back at my first-ever art exhibition in Mumbai. From being an engineer to finding my true calling in resin art, here is a glimpse of my story so far. ✨
A glimpse from my first ever art exhibition at The Bombay Art Gallery in Mumbai. I couldn't have done it without the support of my family and friends. This was the first of many to come.
Taking you back in time to my first art exhibition. I don't know if I chose art or if art chose me, but I'm grateful for this journey from being an engineer to a full-time artist.
Since you all showed so much love for my shell ring platters, I decided to make a few in different colors and keep them in stock for any last-minute requests. It's always great to see which designs resonate with you.
Here I am at my exhibition, standing with some of my favorite pieces, including the Ram Mandir panel and the conceptual Mumbai map. It was an incredible experience to share my work with so many people.
A precious moment from my first exhibition, with my family. Their support has been my biggest strength on this artistic journey.
Receiving a certificate at my first exhibition. It was a proud moment and a validation of all the hard work and passion I've poured into my art.
About The Artist's Journey
People often ask how an engineer ends up making resin art. It started as a timepass 4.5 years ago, but the discipline I learned in engineering, the precision, the patience, and the 'finish is key' mindset is exactly what I pour into every frame I create today. It is not just about mixing resin, it is about getting that perfect gloss finish every single time.
Moving from a 9-to-5 desk job to being a full-time resin artist in Mumbai was not a sudden decision. It was a 4.5-year journey of trial, error, and a whole lot of 'Kitni baar bolu' moments where I learned that the details really do matter.
My work with resin, whether it is ocean-themed nameplates, galaxy clocks, or spiritual crystal frames, reflects this focus on quality. At my studio in Mulund, I do not just work on commissions, I experiment. I have spent years mastering bubble-free pours and perfecting the cellular wave effects you see in my ocean-themed pieces.
Whether you are looking for a statement piece for your living room or a personalized gift for a loved one, I bring that same engineering precision to every single pour. My goal is to create something that lasts, not just something that looks good for a month. If you are ever in the area, feel free to reach out to discuss how we can turn your ideas into a permanent piece of art.
