Story Behind the Art:
'I come from the majestic city of Jaipur, in Rajasthan. My work on makrana marble is inspired by a traditional style of painting and celebrates the festive nature of Rajasthan. I use gold leaf and poster colors to add vibrancy to my paintings on marble plates, sculptures and vases. I have always felt connected to the past. I began this work after traveling through my state in my 20's with friends. I was so impressed with the majestic architecture of the monuments and havelis (private mansions) I saw. When I returned home, I began painting what I had seen. That was 20 years ago and my passion for sharing the beautiful traditions of Rajasthan has continued to be my driving force. It feels great to be able to do what I love and I am proud to provide jobs to local artisans as well.'
