About

His specialty is looking at art through various filters- drawing inspiration from math, science, and life forms. This makes his sculptures resonate with the universal laws of nature. He combines cutting edge industrial processes, computational designs and parametric methods with native artistic traditions to bring life to his sculptures.

His work pans various countries beside India and he is well known for his creations at Bangalore’s Terminal 2, an installation for Accenture won him a Guinness World Record and most recently, a giant squirrel sculpture at Ayodhya.

Born and raised in Bangalore, he also teaches in his spare time, seeking to influence children and young professionals, sparking minds to see the connections between Science, Math, Bio and Art.
Ethos
Every piece of sculpture can be seen as a story, a story that is expressed through form, color, texture, layering, and voids. Inspiration may come from various sources, but the end result should be organic and rooted in its essence.​
As an artist, I look at nature, mathematics, physics, and many more abstract ideas to arrive at patterns that express themselves like a language. This takes me on an interesting journey of discovery every time I set out to create a piece of art. There is a die-hard engineer and a biologist within me who seek the confluence of structure and geometry in nature. However, as a sculptor, I also strive to identify the fundamental predispositions that underlie every pattern or shape.
