I hand-paint each one on a sturdy base, sealing them with food-safe, high-gloss resin so you can use them daily without worrying about spills. It is my way of bringing art out of galleries and into your living room conversations. ### Exploring Traditions and New Mediums My work often starts with a question. 'Pehle pencil se outline banate hain aap?' is something I ask myself before I dive into the layers of a new piece. Whether it is Ganjifa art from Odisha or a spontaneous collage on a vintage book page, the process is always meditative. My studio in Noida is a space where these traditions meet modern utility. ### Why Ganjifa Art on Coasters? Ganjifa, or Ganjapa, was once a popular card game across Persia and India. Bringing these mythical figures and intricate patterns onto modern coasters connects us to that history every time we pick up a cup of tea. I use acrylics to capture the vibrant colors and line work, ensuring each piece tells a story. ### Mixed Media and Creative Play Sometimes, art is just about playing with texture. I love taking forgotten pages from old books and layering them with paint, ink, and resin. These pieces coexist as two stories: the original text and the new art I create on top. It is about second chances—for materials and for memories. If you see something here that speaks to you, or if you have a cherished object that needs a new look, let's talk. I enjoy creating custom pieces that fit into your home, whether it is a set of coasters for your dining table or a unique art piece for your office wall. ## About Anjali Mittal Hi, I am Anjali.
