MENTION ANY TWO OF YOUR TOP FAVOURITE PRODUCTS FROM THIS ART COLLECTION ? TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS SPECIAL PRODUCT ?
AANSHIKI : HOLY MATRIMONY and BOON are by far my favourites .
Both are abstract in form and are made out of extremely rare , single piece , naturally shaped driftwood which makes both the pieces the only two of their respective kinds ( impossible to replicate or reproduce ). Both have subtle augmentations that only add a degree of finality and make them a perfect blend of art and décor ( Holy matrimony ( ON LEFT ) can essentially be a chandelier while Boon ( BELOW ) is actually a lamp )
WHAT DOES ‘ ART ’ MEAN TO YOU ?

AANSHIKI : Like many contemporary artists , I too have an eclectic mix of influences . From anthropomorphic expressions to organic art to even the multi-dimensional themes of rock music . So here I ’ d actually quote another artist who has been one of my influences –
“ Art to me is a question mark . I don ’ t think there ever should be an answer . When people ask you what your painting means or what your essay means , that in fact , is your answer !”
TELL US ABOUT YOUR LATEST ART COLLECTION . WHAT WAS THE CONCEPT BEHIND ITS INCEPTION ?
AANSHIKI : My latest collection is called “ AS IT IS ”. It attempts to reflect the bittersweet realities of modern society and the emotional perplexities created by humans . By putting the Supreme Creator , himself in the seat of the artist , this collection tries to represent how today ’ s human being stands in stark contrast to what the creator ideally intended them to manifest into .
Some of the highlight pieces from this collection include Boon , Holy Matrimony , Beget and The Nobodies .
