About this collection
When selecting mixed-media pieces, preservation is key. Unlike traditional oil or acrylic paintings, these works—such as Sunil Vyas’s waste-plastic mosaics or Puja Kumari’s leaf-integrated drawings—thrive in stable indoor environments away from direct, harsh sunlight. If you are considering these for your home or office, we can advise on the specific lighting conditions needed to maintain their texture and longevity.
Rethinking Your Walls
We believe art should spark a conversation, and nothing initiates dialogue quite like materials you wouldn't expect to see on a wall. Our gallery in Koramangala has become a space for artists who redefine the medium, proving that sustainability and creativity are deeply linked.
Waste to Art
Sunil Vyas, a self-taught artist, transformed the narrative of waste during his work with the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. By using discarded plastic, paper, and wood, he builds textured portraits that have been recognized on national platforms, including G20 summit displays. These pieces are more than decor; they are statements about conscious living. In a modern Bangalore apartment, these works provide a rugged, industrial texture that balances out clean, minimal interior lines.
The Delicate Touch
On the other side of the spectrum, we showcase Puja Kumari’s 'Vibing with Nature' series. By blending intricate pen-and-ink illustrations with preserved, dried leaves, she brings an organic, fragile beauty indoors. These are not merely paintings but compositions that require a keen eye for placement. We often recommend these for spaces where you want to introduce an element of calm, such as a study or a bedroom. Because these are natural materials, they bring the outdoors in, bridging the gap between indoor luxury and nature.
Making the Right Choice
Visiting our gallery allows you to see the depth of these textures firsthand, which photos often flatten. We help you look at how the light hits a waste-plastic sculpture versus the shadow play on a leaf-art frame. Whether you are an interior designer looking for a project statement or a collector seeking something untraditional, we can guide you through the care and placement of these pieces.
