I  was very fond of art since primary school days. It was my Masi who noticed the way I  hold a Nail paint Brush and while applying nail paint on her fingers. She told my father about my small paintings. After that day my father started observing my small drawings in notebooks.  He brought colors and drawing books for me to do painting.

3) Are you professionally trained in this mural art form? Where from you learned this creative art?

 I am Graduate in Applied art in 1990 from Sir J. J School of  Art, Mumbai.  After my 12th my father enquired many people about the career in art field. When he came to know about Sir J J art college,  we travelled to Mumbai from our small town Ranchi.I got selected in Sir J J School of Art in 1985 and my dream to study from India’s Best Art College became possible.

My Father stood for me and I realized my dream to become  an Artist.  

I  worked in advertising field for few years. But I wanted  to do something  Innovative….. and.. my own creation.  In 1997, I got a short term  training from IIT Mumbai (IDC) for Ceramics & Raku Firing. 

I have been doing research work for 8 years in many types of Clay..Resin clay, Earthen clay, Ceramic clay, polymer clay, Porcelain Clay, terracotta clay and Rubber Clay. At last I successfully developed a  new composition of stoneware clay which I introduced as a Brand Name of “Sonamatti ”  .

 Clay work gives me immense satisfaction and confidence to develop new style of Mural art, 

My mural art is very much appreciated by Corporate Industry and Hotel Industry for their Interior Designing Murals. I also  export my Mural artifacts.

 4) What is mural art and what is the specific features of this art form?

 A mural is an extremely large work of art, most often a painting, applied to the surface of a wall, ceiling, or floor. It can be one of the several different styles. But all are designed to bring beauty to the building, whether indoor or outdoor. 

5 Relief PaintingMural painting is inherently different from all other forms of pictorial art. It is organically connected with architecture. The use of colour, design, and thematic treatment can radically alter the sensation of spatial proportions of the building. In this sense, mural is the only form of painting that is truly three-dimensional.

Now a  days in Interior designing field, Murals are used according to the theme of Interior design. An indoor mural should harmonize with the theme of the house and its colors and furnishings. Materials we used for 3D Murals are Metal, Ceramic, Wood, Siporex stone & mixmedia.

5) Who is the one who actually inspires you in finding different designs for your creativity?

Their are some special people in my Life who inspire me to take my creativity in next Level, He is Pramod Thakur my husband. He always inspires me for new Vision in Creativity of ‘Visual & Concept’ .
