Artist Statement

Aarti Gupta Bhadauria

Without the constraints of armature, my sculptures take on a life of their own, soaring into the realm of the ethereal with a grace that mirrors the flutter of the soul. Each piece is a labor of love, unfolding slowly over the course of months, a testament to the patience and dedication required to breathe life into clay. Terracotta, with its ancient lineage, serves as my canvas for modern expression. I seek to elevate its timeless beauty to a global stage, infusing it with contemporary sensibilities and personal style. In the quiet moments of creation, I lose myself in the rhythm of the process, feeling as though I am simply a vessel through which art flows effortlessly. It is in these moments that I am most connected to my work, my soul pouring forth onto the clay with every gentle touch.
