The artwork is a home decor piece which mixes indian artwork with vibrant colours to give it a modern touch.

The showpiece has mirror work on it as well which reflects its beauty from every single angle. The showpiece has colours colliding and creating a glowing gradient.

I found a few doughnut shaped piece near a construction site.Later on, i found out that the doughnut shaped thing was a BOSCH CHOP SAW WHEEL. The sustainable artist in me couldn't ignore it and brought it home and created 3 types of art works on it. 

On the first one , I created a MIRROR MANDALA. On the second one, i did BOHO PAINTING and on the third one, I used TISSUE ROLLS along with some gift wrapping paper and created a PEN STAND. 

This shows that you actually don't need an expensive canvas or materials to create art. Just use your creativity and you will have unique stuff in your hand
