Dhruval — paintings & clay, made in good light

Dhruval

Grown toward
the light.

Bright, devotional, a little bit wild. Paintings and small clay things, made by Dhruval — wander the garden; everything here turned out to bloom.

wander down

Take your time. These were all made to be seen in good light — so here they are, in full bloom. Wander as slow as you like; nothing here is in a hurry.

Acrylic, and the patience it takes to let a face arrive.

The one who makes them

Hi — I’m Dhruval.

Mostly I paint — acrylic, loud colour, gods and tigers and whatever else turns up. In between I make little things out of clay you can hold in one hand. I love sunflowers and the stubborn way they chase the sun, and a white tiger that has padded after me for years. None of it is very serious. All of it is made with my whole heart, in the best light I can find.

“Made with my whole heart, in the best light I can find.”

Come say hi.

No forms, no pitch — just me. If something here made you smile, or you want a piece for your own wall, this is the way to reach me. I write back.
