Sculpted India Brings Modern Art Into Everyday Spaces
Sculpture is art that has a shape you can see from many sides.
Sanya Malik says sculptures can make rooms feel more meaningful and personal.
They can work together with furniture, lighting and architecture.
Shadows and light can change how a sculpture looks during the day.
Sculpted India is showing modern and contemporary Indian sculptures in Hyderabad.
The exhibition includes works by both famous and newer artists.
The artworks explore ideas such as identity, nature and human life.
Malik hopes people will learn to live alongside sculpture instead of seeing it only in galleries.
She also wants the exhibition to help more people appreciate Indian sculpture.
Sculpted India presents modern and contemporary Indian sculptures at Design Democracy 2026 in Hyderabad.
The exhibition features established artists including Thota Vaikuntam, Krishen Khanna, M.F. Husain, Himmat Shah and Jogen Chowdhury.
Works explore identity, nature, human existence and architecture through varied materials and forms.
Sanya Malik says sculpture can give interiors meaning, character and a changing relationship with light and people.
Sculpted India aims to encourage collectors to experience Indian sculpture as part of everyday living spaces.

“Being situated at the intersection of art, architecture and design, three-dimensional art gives more to an interior than just another decorative object.”
