Shalini Passi Instagram – SVARN, Atelier Ashiesh Shah — India Art Fair 2025
SVARN is a tribute to India’s rich cultural heritage and exceptional craftsmanship. Inspired by the Hindi word for “gold,” it symbolises brilliance beyond the metallic realm.
At its core is Svarnabhoomi, a striking map of India crafted from Dhokra cubes, representing a unified yet diverse nation bound by its artisanal legacy. This piece highlights India’s true treasures — its crafts — showcasing the country’s enduring artistic wealth.
Suspended midair, the totem’s three-dimensional form casts dynamic shadows, blending tradition with a cubist aesthetic. It also echoes the essence of Sonar Chidiya — the Golden Sparrow, a symbol of India’s past prosperity — aiming to revive and share this legacy globally.
With glimmers of gold, copper, silver, and bronze, SVARN reaffirms India as a land of timeless artistry and unparalleled craftsmanship.
