Triptych of Golden Mandalas: three framed gilded relief mandalas on matte black, hung on a softly lit wall

One piece on the wall. The full gallery opens soon.

Move the light across the gold

Now on the wall

Triptych of Golden Mandalas

Two sun discs keep watch over a blooming lotus. Every ridge in the gold is raised by hand, so the piece never looks the same twice: at noon it glows flat and calm, and by lamplight every petal throws its own small shadow.

Look closer

A photograph flattens it. Your wall won't.

Move across the circle to see what a screen usually hides: the hand-drawn grooves, the beads set one by one, the edges that catch the light.

This is relief art, made to be seen in person, under your own light.

One of one

No prints, no copies. Each piece is made once, then signed and certified.

Made for light

The relief is raised so that shadows do part of the work. The piece changes as the day does.

From one studio

Designed, sculpted and framed by Riyanka in her studio in Indirapuram.

Next on the wall

Three more are being finished.

They are still in the studio. Each one goes up on this wall when it is ready.
