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.

“Continuum” Brings Art Into Living Spaces Through an Immersive Showcase

Published

on

Continuum art exhibition at The Art Hub Gallery Gurgaon featuring immersive installations and artworks displayed across living spaces including rooms, hallways, and outdoor areas.

Continuum, an immersive art exhibition curated by Gauri Minocha, successfully previewed on 11 April 2026 at The Art Hub Gallery, Gurgaon. The exhibition runs from 12 April to 1 May 2026 and marks a new chapter, inviting audiences to experience art in a thoughtfully designed domestic setting that encourages a more personal, lived engagement.

Unfolding across rooms, hallways, stairways, terraces, and lawns, each space becomes an active site of interaction. This fluid spatial narrative mirrors the rhythms of everyday life—encouraging moments of rest, reflection, transition, and conversation, while allowing viewers to encounter art in an intimate and immersive manner.

Bringing together nearly 100 artworks, Continuum presents a carefully curated selection of South Asian artists across generations, ranging from modern masters to contemporary practitioners. Moving away from a linear curatorial framework, the exhibition creates intergenerational dialogues, placing works in conversation across time, mediums, and artistic approaches. These juxtapositions generate meaningful intersections between tradition and experimentation, memory and immediacy.

The exhibition features a diverse and expansive roster of artists including Avijit Roy, Badri Narayan, Bazil Habib, Deepak Kaushlya, Dharmanarayan Dasgupta, Francis Newton Souza, Ganesh Haloi, Hadia Hassan, Haneen Almoosawi, Jamini Roy, Jogen Chowdhury, Kanchan Chander, Kumari Nahappan, Lalu Prasad Shaw, Madhuri Bhaduri, Pallav Chander, Prakash Karmakar, Rabin Mondal, Ram Kumar, Ramkinkar Baij, Sanjay Kumar, Shakil Solanki, Simran KS Lamba, Somnath Hore, Sonaly Gandhi, Suhas Roy, Susanta Das, Tahira Noreen, The Art Hub Designs, Thilini Jinadasa, and Vivan Sundaram, among others—spanning generations, geographies, and artistic disciplines.

By situating artworks within lived interiors as well as open-air settings, Continuum dissolves boundaries between art and everyday life, as well as between interior and exterior, and private and public spaces. The exhibition encourages a slower, more contemplative mode of viewing—where art is experienced not in isolation, but as part of a continuous, evolving environment.

From Social Stigma to Olympic Glory: Dreamers Chronicles Sakshi Malik’s Fight to Redefine Wrestling for Girls

Published

on

Dreamers-The Storytelling Series, helmed by celebrated storyteller Sudhanshu Rai, returns with a powerful third episode that chronicles the extraordinary journey of India’s wrestling icon, Sakshi Malik, a story of belief, defiance, setbacks, and historic triumph.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=LewXq-HEGMA%3Fsi%3D_GqGcsdG6j4iD73O

In this deeply moving episode, Sudhanshu Rai brings to life Sakshi Malik’s early childhood, highlighting how her grandparents were the first to recognize her exceptional talent. Long before medals and podiums, it was their unwavering faith that nurtured a fearless young girl who dared to step onto the wrestling mat, often against boys, and stunned onlookers with her strength and skill at a time when many believed wrestling was “not a sport for women.”

The episode vividly captures the social barriers Sakshi confronted as she challenged entrenched stereotypes and proved, bout after bout, that wrestling belonged to women as much as men. Her journey didn’t just redefine perceptions, it paved the way for countless young girls who dreamed of a career in wrestling but hesitated under the weight of societal expectations. Sakshi Malik became a symbol of possibility, courage, and change.

The narrative then turns to her historic achievement as the first Indian woman wrestler to win an Olympic medal, a moment that reshaped Indian sports history and inspired a generation. Yet, Dreamers does not shy away from the harder chapters. Rai sensitively explores Sakshi’s period of struggle, when losses, even to her juniors, tested her resolve and threatened to dim her fighting spirit.

What follows is a stirring account of resilience and comeback. Rising from adversity, Sakshi Malik reclaimed her place at the top with a gold medal victory at the Commonwealth Games 2022, reaffirming her legacy not just as a champion, but as a relentless fighter who refused to give up.

Speaking about the episode, Sudhanshu Rai said, “Sakshi Malik’s story is not just about medals, it’s about mindset. It’s about family belief, social change, failure, and the courage to rise again. Dreamers exists to tell such stories that remind us why dreams matter.”

The new episode of Dreamers: The Storytelling Series stands as a tribute to every young girl who dares to dream beyond limitations, and to a champion who showed them the way.

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.
