The show made us privy to a collection of nine artworks, each named after a Nayika (heroine) of Indian classical aesthetics fame. The works were visceral, laying are the construction of each, forming pieces that evoked a slurry of emotions.‘The process in my work is like a tree, slowly and steadily gripping onto its roots, and taking shape and form as it grows.
The dilapidated Watson’s Hotel might be oscillating between restoration and neglect but remains a reluctant ode to a time gone by, and a historic significance nearly forgotten. Structurally designed by Rowland Mason Ordish and constructed by the Phoenix Foundry Company, the hotel still stands, 148 years later.

Serigraphs are one such medium that has been widely used by many artists.They are high-quality limited edition fine art prints. They offer a great opportunity for novice collectors to begin collecting works by renowned artists at affordable prices.
Artists recognized the bicycle as a symbol of progress and societal change, depicting it in various ways. Paintings like Federico Zandomeneghi's "Meeting on a Bicycle" and Choquet Christian's "Tour de France année 2003" captured the joy, freedom, and excitement associated with cycling.
Indian artists on Mojarto have also embraced bicycle as a subject that transcends mere representation. Through their paintings and illustrations, they celebrate the advent of this revolutionary invention and the impact it had on society. Let's explore these “wheels of creativity” and the relationship they share with all of humankind.
