Special thanks to Sonal Ambani
I am deeply honored to have been invited by Sonal Ambani, a visionary sculptor and philanthropist, to hold my first solo exhibition at her renowned Samara Art Gallery. Sonal’s remarkable journey as an artist is marked by her thought-provoking sculptures that explore universal values, human connections, and societal evolution. Her recent exhibit at the prestigious Venice Biennale, where only a handful of Indian artists like M.F. Husain and Paresh Maity have showcased, further cements her status as a global artistic force. Sonal’s unparalleled commitment to art and her philanthropic efforts inspire countless artists and art lovers alike.
