Details of artist Mansi Sagar:
In her words “About me…..I did an art teacher diploma after 12th, then G.D.art, Dip.A.Ed. all education done from Nashik Maharashtra. Here I am telling to tell you about my art style…which is based on ‘nude art’.
      Nude art does not represent only the naked body but nudity is about the deep thoughts and thinking of the artist.    An artist is attracted to some preferences or priorities at some stage in life; I also reached the same stage a few years back. Nudity indicates a journey towards the preference I have chosen. The hardships that I went through have coaxed me to continue to take this tough path; the mission is still on.    But whenever I do nude and semi-nude portraits, I go into a peculiar trance-like sensation. In my paintings, I focus on “the difficulties faced by women at every stage in her life” and “different stages of her life”. Each painter has some shape in mind before starting to paint; this generates a thought process in mind, and the art is born. The main thought coming to my mind is about purity when I visualize nudity, which cannot be found in any other shape. I have a great attraction for the nude forms since the beginning. With these shapes in mind, I hope to create paintings with a different intent and dedicate them to the art-lovers! 
  I felt that I might not be allowed to create nude paintings if I marry; hence I have decided not to marry, ever! Since there was great difficulty in getting models for nude paintings, I created “Self-Nude” paintings! My paintings have given me the honor of winning awards in exhibitions held by the Art Society of India, Prafulla Dahanukar art foundation, and the Art society of Maharashtra. Not only that, but I have sold my paintings in India and outside India too!  “

Artist Bipin Shinol

Second artist Bipin Shinol from Ahmedabad :
In his words
” I have completed my post-diploma in painting from faculty of fine Arts, M.S. University Baroda in 1999. Since then I am working on my painting, which is about my experiences of everyday life. I work with a personalized form of expression where many of the times the protagonist is myself. An image that resembles to my face structure with a character who is an observer at one point and at other he is unaware of his acts simply is a layman, involved in natures process of life on this earth.

I give much emphasis on drawing quality in my work. Adding comparative elements as in one of my recent paintings. I showed an accidental incident in comparison with a child’s play. I feel an urge to improve my quality by exploring various possibilities as in this work.

My technique of painting assimilates the use of high-resolution scanning of prints and photos, composing the same using the latest computer software [Adobe Photoshop] and hardware, as well using large format digital printing machines to print the image directly on the canvas and thereafter over-painting out the image using oil paint.

Artist Nidhi Jaiswal

Artist Nidhi Jaiswal :
Very talented and does watercolor wash painting. Did her Master’s degree from Gwalior. Her works are on the line of Abindernath Tagore and Nand Lal Bose.

Artist Sudakshina Ghosh

Artist Sudakshina Ghosh was greatly influenced by the Ramakrishna mission and her works are based on the Vedanta philosophy.

Artist Himnti Sen

Artist Himnti Sen, a graduate of Delhi College of Art has done a beautiful landscape series on Banaras and other places.

Artist Pranali Harpude

Artist Pranali Harpude from Pune is extremely talented and her series on everyday life is a lot in the European style of work. The colors used by her may be compared to the great artist Vincent van Gogh.

Artist Arindam Gupta

Artist Arindam Gupta from Kolkata has done wonderful charcoal works using Nitram charcoal and liquid charcoal on paper .he spent a long time with sadhus,tantriks , holy men to do artworks based on them. His works are with collectors in Europe and the USA.

Oorjaa Introduces the Goldenrod Floor Lamp — A Luminous Ode to Nature

Published

Oorjaa Introduces the Goldenrod Floor Lamp

Oorjaa, celebrated for its commitment to conscious design and sustainable artistry, unveils its latest sculptural lighting piece — the Goldenrod Floor Lamp. True to the brand’s ethos of fusing craftsmanship, materiality, and emotion, this piece illuminates spaces with a soft, organic glow that captures the essence of mindful living.

Inspired by the delicate form of the goldenrod gall seed pod, the Goldenrod Floor Lamp extends gracefully from floor to ceiling, embodying fluidity and natural rhythm. Each curve of its form evokes the quiet elegance of nature’s patterns, while the warm amber light it radiates creates an enveloping sense of calm — perfect for winter evenings. Crafted entirely from crushed banana plant fibre paper, its texture mirrors the raw beauty of the natural world. Resting on a reclaimed wooden base, the lamp celebrates imperfections — the creases, veins, and grain — that tell a story of origin and earth. The sculptural silhouette, glowing from within, becomes both an art form and a source of gentle warmth, inviting a connection between nature and the human spirit.

The Goldenrod Floor Lamp transcends the idea of conventional lighting. Its grounding presence and poetic design make it an ideal addition to both residential and hospitality spaces. In homes, it finds harmony in living rooms, reading corners, or bedrooms, infusing each space with meditative warmth. Within boutique hotels, wellness retreats, or art-centric lobbies, it transforms atmospheres into sanctuaries of light and texture. Wherever it stands, the lamp adds a touch of organic sophistication — a sculptural statement that softly commands attention while nurturing stillness and reflection.

With the Goldenrod Floor Lamp, Oorjaa once again redefines illumination — not merely as light, but as a living expression of nature, craft, and quiet luxury.

About Oorjaa

Oorjaa is a Bangalore-based lighting design studio that reimagines the role of light through the lens of sustainability, craftsmanship, and material innovation. Oorjaa as a brand, emerged from a papermaking and lighting design studio that Jenny Pinto started in 1998. Today, the studio has grown into a collective of over 60 artisans and designers who explore the artistic and architectural possibilities of materials like banana fiber, lokta paper, upcycled cork, quarry dust, water hyacinth, and lantana—an invasive species reimagined as a creative resource.

Every Oorjaa creation tells a story of conscious design. Whether it’s a sculptural lamp for a private residence or a large-scale installation for public spaces like Bengaluru International Airport’s Terminal 2, the brand’s work blends tactile beauty with technical ingenuity. At its core, Oorjaa is about crafting with care for the future, giving form to light while honoring the cycles of the earth.
