introduction

Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.” 
  -Mahatma Gandhi

The artist duo Priya and Aryan, compliment each other not only in their taste towards life but also their artistic fervour. Being together for 15 years, and collaborating in various art ventures from sketching to painting to sculptures have been a fun-filled journey for both of them. 

Their artistic collaboration has resulted in creating sculptures that draw inspiration from human behaviour and its impact on outer world. Their love for wildlife and its protection for future generations to come, led them to incorporate animals figures along side human, in their creation. They loudly protest against animal killings through their art form. Their belief that nature can be saved only when man adopts greater knowledge,  and  transitions from being a mere “man” to being a “human”. They use their natural instinct to create art which boggles the viewer’s mind.

The duo have the same background in art and science education. They combine their knowledge of human body with art, to give out a meaningful creation which can beautify a living space as well as minds too. With over 15 exhibitions under their belt, in over 10 countries around the globe, installation for Wild Life Trust of India project “Gajyatra” and India Habitat Centre, publications in Hindustan Times, and Vogue magazine, Priya and Aryan, mix new-age influences with aspects of old school traditions and beliefs beautifully in their creations. A refreshing way in use of stainless steel bolts to create contemporary style sculptures has redefined art. Priya and Aryan are the only artists to use bolts in creating luxurious artwork. Their sculptures are not only innovative and beautiful, they also wonderfully put across boiling concerns of the society in a subtle manner.

Their knack for travelling extensively gives them ample opportunity to scan and research human mind and behaviour. Their love for photography helps them capture relevant emotions, and body forms. They together work in compiling their body of thoughts to create an innovative form of sculptures which are quite contemporary and original.  

The sculpture made by this duo are hand made and require an extensive knowledge of welding and hammering. Joining the bolts one by one requires a lot of patience and technique which these two have mastered over a period of time and intense practice. 

Their aim to create luxurious looking sculptures can mesmerise any art lover. The motto is simple: LIVE and LET LIVE.
